    This is a Multiple Choice Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar

    Ans: Option (ii)

    The hybrid orbitals of nitrogen in the given species will be confirmed by knowing the hybridization. In  NO2+ the central nitrogen atom is sp hybridized as it has a linear shape. The molecule NO3- is sp2  due to the presence of one lone pair of electrons on a nitrogen atom and hence having a bent geometry. The molecule NH4+ is sp3  hybridized having a tetrahedral geometry.

The three fundamental laws of chemistry are - Law of Definite Proportions, Law of Conservation of Mass, and Law of Multiple Proportions.

The three types of chemical bonds are - ionic, metallic and covalent bonds. When the electrons transfer between the atoms, they form the Ionic bonds by producing charged ions that are attracted to each other. When atoms share electrons, covalent bonds are created. When metal atoms share a sea of delocalized electrons, metallic bonds get created.
