The stability of the species

N{O_2},\,NO_2^ + \,\,\,{\text{and}}\,{\text{ }}NO_2^ -

is in the order

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

NO_2^ + {\text{ > }}N{O_2} > NO_2^ -

Option A (

NO_2^+ > NO_2 > NO_2^-

) is correct because the stability is related to the bond angle, with

NO_2^+

having the largest bond angle and thus being the most stable.
