The shape of $\mathrm{NO}_{3}^{-}$ is planar. It is formed by the overlapping of oxygen orbitals with which orbitals of nitrogen are (1) sp $^{3}$ hybridised (2) sp $^{2}$ hybridised (3) sp hybridiscd (4) 3 purc p-orbitals
The sodium salt of the unfamiliar ortho-nitrate ion (NO4^3-) has been prepared. What hybridization is expected on the nitrogen atom at the center of this ion? Predict the geometry of the NO4^3- ion.
