Dissimilar in hybridization for the central atom with different structures.
Explanation:
- NO3- is a molecule where the central atom being nitrogen with a oxygen having double bond and two other oxygens with singe bond.
- So the steric number of the compound is 3.
- So the hybridization is sp2.
- The structure is therefore trigonal planar.
- In case of H3O+, three hydrogen atoms are attached with oxygen and one lone pair is attached with oxygen.
- So the steric number of the species is 4.
- So the hybridization is sp3.
- So the structure is tetrahedral.
- So they have dissimilar hybridization and dissimilar structure.
