Question

Some of the following properties of two species, NO₃^- and H₃O⁺ are described below. Which one of them is correct?

(a) dissimilar in hybridisation for the central atom with different structure.

(b) isostructural with same hybridisation for the Central atom.

(c) different hybridisation for the central atom with same structure

(d) none of these

Answer 1

NO₃^- - sp² hybridisation,planar

H₃O⁺ – sp hybridisation, pyramidal
