In the gaseous state of $HNO_{3} N - \hat{O} - N$ bond angle is $10 2^{\circ}$ what would be the arrgangement of $HNO_{3}$

Options:

Answer:

Solution:

The N-O-N bond angle of $10 2^{\circ}$ in gaseous HNO₃ is close to the ideal $109. 5^{\circ}$ for sp³ hybridization, but the molecule is planar due to resonance and the presence of a double bond character between nitrogen and two oxygen atoms. The central nitrogen atom is sp² hybridized.
