⭐The nitrate ion (NO3-1) is trigonal planer with an sp2 hybridization of the nitrogen atom. All of the nitrogen electrons are employed in bonding leaving none free and because the sp2 hybrid allows for the formation of 3 regions of electrons, it is the logical choice.

To find the hybridization, you would have to count the sum of the number of sigma bonds and lone electron pairs around the nitrogen atom. There are 2 sigma bonds and 1 lone electron pair around the nitrogen atom, so a total of 3. This is why it has a hybridization of sp2. As you can see NO2 is an odd electron species.
