MCQ
Which of the two ions from the list given below that have the geometry that is explained by the same hybridization of orbitals, $NO_2^-, NO_3^-,NH_2^- , NH_4^+ , SCN^-$ ?
  • $NO_2^-$ and $NO_3^-$
  • B
    $NH_4^+$ and $NO_3^-$
  • C
    $SCN^-$ and $NH_2^-$
  • D
    $NO_2^-$ and $NH_2^-$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$NO_2^-$ and $NO_3^-$
a
$N O_{2}^{-} \rightarrow s p^{2}$

$N O_{3}^{-} \rightarrow s p^{2}$

$N H_{2}^{+} \rightarrow s p^{3}$

$N H_{4} \rightarrow s p^{3}$

$S C N^{+} \rightarrow s p$

$N O_{2}^{-}$ and $N O_{3}^{-}$ both have the same hybridisation,
