Detailed Solution

Ozone exhibits sp2 hybridization, hence it should be shaped as a trigonal planar crystal. The angle between the oxygen atoms in ozone, however, is less than 120° because of resonance and one lonely pair of electrons in the structure of ozone.

An sp2 kind of hybridization occurs in NO2. Drawing the Lewis structure and counting the number of bonds and lone electron pairs around the nitrogen atom are the two easiest ways to measure the degree of hybridization of NO2. We shall discover that nitrogen dioxide contains one lone pair of electrons and two sigma bonds.
