1 a) b) c) d) Consider the nitrate ion, NO3. How many valence electrons does one nitrogen atom have? How many valence electrons do three oxygen atoms have? How many valence electrons does one NO3 ion have? Draw a valid Lewis structure for the NO3 ion below. Can you draw equivalent resonance structures for this ion? If so, indicate these e) below. f) The bond order for the N-O bond in the nitrate ion is said to be 4/3. Please provide an explanation. g) Draw one of the resonance structures for the nitrate ion and indicate the formal charge on each element. (Make sure the elements are labeled so that the formal charge you assign can be compared to the structure.) Which element is chemically similar to lithium? A) Sulfur B) Magnesium C) Iron D) Lanthanum E) Potassium 00000 DBAU E CA OC 1 a) b) c) d) Consider the nitrate ion, NO3. How many valence electrons does one nitrogen atom have?

Answer rating: 100% (QA)

1 The nitrate ion NO3 is a polyatomic ion that is made up of one nitrogen atom and three oxygen atoms It has a charge of 1 which means it has gained one electron to become negatively charged The geome... View the full answer
