Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The Lewis structure and formal charge of each atom present in nitrate ion has to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Lewis structure: Lewis structures are diagram that shows the bonding between atoms of a molecule and the lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the molecule. Lines are drawn between atoms, which are bonded to one another. The additional electrons that form lone pairs are represented as pairs of dots, and are placed next to the atoms.
Formal charge (F.C): The formal charge is calculated using the formula,
(b)
