Answer:

180⁰ bond angle

Step-by-step explanation:

if a electron is removed from NO², you get the NO²+

it is isoelectronic with CO², having two N=O. Double bonds and nonunpaired electrons, so repulsion between the 2 refions of electron density is minimised but the 180⁰ bond angle, and it is linear , as wirht CO ²
