Correct answer: A-P,Q, B-P,Q,R, C-P,Q,R,S, D-P,Q,R,S. Step 1: Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is an odd-electron bent molecule. Step 2: The central Nitrogen atom forms two sigma bonds and holds a single odd electron in a hybridized orbital. The total steric number is 3 (2 sigma bonds + 1 odd-electron domain). Step 3: A steric number of 3 corresponds to sp2 hybridization of the Nitrogen atom, which is option (b).
