Which of these statements describe the bonding in the nitrate ion?
[Select all that apply.]
There are three o bonds: one is formed by the overlap of sp² hybrid orbitals on N & O. Two are formed by
the overlap of an sp2 hybrid orbital on N & an sp3 hybrid orbital on O.
There is a delocalized л bond formed by the overlap of the four p orbitals on N & O.
There is one a bond formed by the overlap of two p orbitals.
There are 3 o bonds formed by the overlap of sp² hybrid orbitals on N with sp² hybrid orbitals on O.
There are two o bonds: both are formed by the overlap of an sp² hybrid orbital on N with an sp³ hybrid
orbital on O.
There are three o bonds one is formed by the overlap of sp² hybrid orbitals on N & O. Two are formed by
overlap of an sp3 hybrid orbital on N & an sp2 hybrid orbital on O.
