The correct order of bond angle in no2 no2+ no2-
Answers
Hey mate
hope this will helpful for you
NO3- , NO2- NO2. and NO2+
NO2- < NO3- < NO2 < NO2+
For NO2-, the molecule is bent but we have 1 lone pair on nitrogen. Lone pair electron repulsion is more than the bonding electrons so the bond angle will be less than 120o.
In NO3-, there is no lone pair of electrons, all are bonding pairs leading to an ideal bond angle of 120o.
In NO2, the one lone electron exerts a less repulsion than a lone pair of electrons, so two bonding oxygen atoms are able to spread out more leading to bond angle greater than the ideal of 120o.
In NO2+, there is no lone pair, only bond pairs so the molecule is linear leading to a bond angle of 180o.
Answer:
Order of bond angle
NO2 + greater than NO2 greater than NO2 minus
Explanation:
Since NO2 + has in hybridization of SP with zero lone pair and a linear geometry
NO2 who has one lone electron wit and hybridisation of SP2 the one lone electron has less repulsion.. therefore giving a greater bond angle
NO2 minus has one lone pair of electron.
