Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The ideal bond angles in NO2- need to be determined.

Concept introduction:

  • In molecules with more than 2 atoms, the angle formed between 2 bonds is called as the bond angle.
  • The ideal geometry adopted by various molecules can be predicted based on the valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory. As per the VSEPR model, an orbital arrangement which minimizes valence electron repulsion leads to a stable geometry.
  • The geometry of a given can be predicted based on the general formula: AXn Em where A = central atom, X = surrounding atoms, E = lone pairs on the central atom
