How many sigma and pi bonds are there in HNO3 |
|
Answer» Answer: Nitric acid includes 5 atoms so we'll use the hybrid orbital APPROXIMATION for the molecular orbital diagram. There are 2 equivalent Lewis structures for HNO3. The NITROGEN atom MAKES 3 sigma bonds in each structure so it is 2sp2 hybridized with a remaining 2p orbital. |
