Question

Which shape does Nitric Acid molecule has?

• A. T-shaped
• B. Trigonal Pyradimal
• C. Triangular Planar
• D. Linear

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Triangular Planar

$HN{O}_3$ (Nitric acid) is an aqueous solution of $N{O}_2$(Nitrogen dioxide), it contains $H^{+}$ and $N{O}^{3-}$ ions in it.Also $N{O}^{3-}$ ion is triangular planar in shape.Hence the shape of nitric acid is triangular planar.
