1.	The types of hybrid orbitals of nitrogen in NO_(2)^(+) , NO_(3)^(-) and NH_(4)^(+)respectively are expected to be
Answer» `sp, sp^(3) and sp^(2)` `sp, sp^(2) and sp^(3)` `sp^(2), sp and sp^(3)` `sp^(2), sp^(3) and sp` Solution :`sp, sp^(2) and sp^(3)` The type of HYBRID orbitals of nitrogen can be calculated by using VSEPR THEORY counting bp and as Ip in `NO_(2)^(+) `= 2bp + 0lp= linear = sp hybridised `NO_(2)^(-) ` = 3bp + 0lp `rArr` linear `sp^(2)` hybridised `NH_(4)^(+)` = 4dp + 0lp `rArr` linear `hsp^(3)` hybridised
