As we learnt in

Dettermination of shape of molecules using VSEPR Theory -

calculate \:X

X=(No.\;of\:valence\:electrons\:of\:central\:atom\:)+(No.\:of\:other\:atom\:)+(Negative\:charge\:on\:the\:molecule)-(Positive\:charge\:on\:the\:molecule)

-

 

 

 

 Hybridization of NO_{3}^{-}\:(N):\frac{1}{2}\left[ 5+0-0+1 \right ]=3,sp^{2}

Hybridization of  H_{3}O^{+}\:(O):\frac{1}{2}\left[ 6+3-1+0 \right ]=4,sp^{3}

\therefore They are dissimilar in hybridization of the central atom and therefore have different structures.

 


Option 1)

Similar in hybridization for the central atom with different structures.

This option is incorrect.

Option 2)

Dissimilar in hybridization for the central atom with different structures. 

This option is correct.

Option 3)

Isostructural with same hybridization for the central atom.

This option is incorrect.

Option 4)

Isostructural with different hybridization for the central atom.

This option is incorrect.
