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)

-

 

 X=\frac{1}{2}(VE+MA-C+a)

For NONO_2^{+}, X=\frac{1}{2}(5+0-1)=2\: i.e\: sp\: hybridised

For NO_{3}^{-}, X=\frac{1}{2}(5+0+1)=3 i.e\: sp^{2}\: hybridisation

For NH_{4}^{+}, X=\frac{1}{2}(5+4-1)=4\: i.e\: sp^{3}\: hybridisation
