    In the solid state it is ionic with structure [NO 2] + [NO 3] −; as a gas and in solution it is molecular O 2 N–O–NO 2. Hydration to nitric acid comes readily, as does analogous reaction with hydrogen peroxide giving peroxonitric acid (HOONO 2). It is a violent oxidising agent. Gaseous dinitrogen pentoxide decomposes as follows: [66]

  3. Trigonal planar molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    2) + 3). In organic chemistry, planar, three-connected carbon centers that are trigonal planar are often described as having sp 2 hybridization. [2] [3] Nitrogen inversion is the distortion of pyramidal amines through a transition state that is trigonal planar. Pyramidalization is a distortion of this molecular shape towards a tetrahedral ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diatomic_molecule

    A space-filling model of the diatomic molecule dinitrogen, N 2. Diatomic molecules (from Greek di- 'two') are molecules composed of only two atoms, of the same or different chemical elements. If a diatomic molecule consists of two atoms of the same element, such as hydrogen (H 2) or oxygen (O 2), then it is said to be homonuclear.

  5. Dinitrogen dioxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinitrogen_dioxide

    Dinitrogen dioxide is an inorganic compound having molecular formula N 2 O 2.Many structural isomers are possible. The covalent bonding pattern O=N–N=O (a non-cyclic dimer of nitric oxide (NO)) is predicted to be the most stable isomer based on ab initio calculations and is the only one that has been experimentally produced.

  6. Triple bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_bond

    Structure and AFM image of dehydrobenzo[12]annulene, where benzene rings are held together by triple bonds. A triple bond in chemistry is a chemical bond between two atoms involving six bonding electrons instead of the usual two in a covalent single bond. Triple bonds are stronger than the equivalent single bonds or double bonds, with a bond ...

    4 NH 3 + 7 O 2 → 4 NO 2 + 6 H 2 O. It can also be produced by the oxidation of nitrosyl chloride: 2 NOCl + O 2 → 2NO 2 + Cl 2. Instead, most laboratory syntheses stabilize and then heat the nitric acid to accelerate the decomposition. For example, the thermal decomposition of some metal nitrates generates NO 2: [14] Pb(NO 3) 2 → PbO + 2 ...

  8. Nitronium ion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitronium_ion

    The nitronium ion, [N O 2] +, is a cation.It is an onium ion because its nitrogen atom has +1 charge, similar to ammonium ion [NH 4] +.It is created by the removal of an electron from the paramagnetic nitrogen dioxide molecule NO 2, or the protonation of nitric acid HNO 3 (with removal of H 2 O).

  9. Dinitrogen trioxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinitrogen_trioxide

    N 2 O 3 + 2 NaOH → 2 NaNO 2 + H 2 O. Typically, N–N bonds are similar in length to that in hydrazine (145 pm). Dinitrogen trioxide, however, has an unusually long N–N bond at 186 pm. Some other nitrogen oxides also possess long N–N bonds, including dinitrogen tetroxide (175 pm). The N 2 O 3 molecule is planar and exhibits C s symmetry.
