Question

What is hybridisation of nitrogen atom in NO2 molecule?

Answer 1

Answer:

The nitrogen has an sp2 hybridization. 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

Answer 2

Answer:

Since Nitrogen in NO2- has Sp2 hybridisation and 1 lone pair it’s structure is LINEAR.
