1) predict the structures of the following ions, and state thehybridization of the central atom       ion                                                   structure                                 centralatom hybridization       N3-       CO32-       NO3-       BF4- 1) predict the structures of the following ions, and state thehybridization of the central atom       ion                                                   structure                                 centralatom hybridization       N3-       CO32-       NO3-       BF4-

Explanation / Answer

The structure and hybridizations of the molecules is:    1.                        -          -           Azide(N3-)   |N=N=N|      The central Nitrogen atom is SPhybridised and Linear geometry     2.           Carbonate ion (CO3-2)        The central carbon atomis SP2 hybridised and Planar geometry      3.             Nitrate ion ( NO3- )         The centralNitrogen atom is SP2 hybridised and Planargeometry       4.             BF4-          The centralBoron atom is SP3 hybridised and hasTetrahedral geometry.          The centralBoron atom is SP3 hybridised and hasTetrahedral geometry.
