| Aug 15, 2014 at 22:03 | comment | added | Dissenter | Oh wait nvm I see it after I drew out the diagram; the 100 degree bond angles deviate from the usual sp3 hybridized bond angle; this suggests that the oxygens may be interacting with each other and closing up the bond angle from 109.5 degrees. Are there really available orbitals on the oxygens to do this/ | |

Please, check. As for the question, the $\ce{ONN}$ angle in N2O2 is ~100, so I would say the nature of the bond is debatable. While antibonding orbital obviously is shifted towards atom with higher initial orbitals, the angles suggests partial O-O or O-N interactions as well. | |
