Best Answer

Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) is a molecular compound in which two oxygen molecules are bonded covalently to a central nitrogen molecule in a bent shape. The O-N-O bond angle is 134.3o as opposed to 180o due to the unbonded electron in nitrogen's outer shell. A good example of a nitrogen-based ionic compound would instead be sodium nitrate (NaNO3) or similar.
