Dissimilar in hybridization for the central atom with different structures.

Vedclass · Answer

(A) For $NO_{3}^{-}$,the number of hybrid orbitals $H = \frac{1}{2} [5 + 0 - 0 + 1] = 3$. Thus,the central atom $N$ is $sp^{2}$ hybridized and the species has a trigonal planar geometry.For $H_{3}O^{+}$,the number of hybrid orbitals $H = \frac{1}{2} [6 + 3 - 1 + 0] = 4$. Thus,the central atom $O$ is $sp^{3}$ hybridized and the species has a pyramidal geometry due to the presence of one lone pair.Since they have different hybridization states ($sp^{2}$ vs $sp^{3}$) and different geometries (trigonal planar vs pyramidal),they are dissimilar in both hybridization and structure.

Some of the properties of the two species,$NO_{3}^{-}$ and $H_{3}O^{+}$ are described below. Which one of them is correct?
