Solution
The correct option is
D
$NO_{2}^{-}< NO_{2}
N
O
+
2
has no unpaired electrons. Hence, it will be linear i.e. bond angle is
180
0
N
O
2
has one unpaired electron pair which causes repulsion due to which bond angle decreases to
132
0
.
N
O
+
2
has one unpaired electron pair which causes repulsion due to which bond pairs becomes more close and thus decreases the bond angle of
115
0
Hence, order of bond angles is
N
O
−
2
<
N
O
2
<
N
+
2
