- 130°, 102°
- 102°, 130°
- 134°, 100°
100°, 134°
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
In the planar structure of the nitric acid molecule (\(\text{HNO}_3\)), the bond angle between \(\text{H-O-N}\) is approximately 102°, and the bond angle between \(\text{O-N-O}\) is around 130°. These angles are influenced by the electron repulsion around the nitrogen atom and the resonance structure of the molecule.
