1.	Some of the properties of the two species, NO_(3)^(-) and H_(3)O^(*) are described below. Which one of them is correct ?
Answer» SIMILAR in HYBRIDIZATION for the CENTRAL atom with different structures. Dissimilar in hybridization for the central atom with different structures. Isostructural with same hybridization for the central atom. lsostructural with different hybridization for the central atom. SOLUTION :Dissimilar in hybridization for the central atom with different structures. IN `NO_(3)^(-2) `, nitrogen is in `sp^(2)` hybridization, thus planar in shape. In `H_(3)O^(+)`, oxygen is in `sp^(3)` hybridization , thus tetrahedral in shape. `therefore ` Correct answer : (B)
