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

Options:

Answer:

Solution:

In $NO_{3}$ , $H = \frac{1}{2} [5 + 0 - 0 + 1] = 3. So, sp^{3}$ hybridization. Thus, it has trigonal planar geometry.
$In H_{3} O^{+}$ $H = \frac{1}{2} [6 + 3 - 1 + 0] = 4;$ So, $sp^{3}$ hybridization and it has pyramidal geometry due to the presence of one lone pair of electrons.
