Answer:

Nitrate Compound

Explanation:

Nitrate Compound:

A nitrate compound is a type of chemical compound containing the nitrate ion, NO3−. These compounds can be inorganic, such as ammonium nitrate, or organic, such as ethylene dinitrate. Inorganic nitrates are usually produced by the reaction of nitric acid and a metal, base, or organic compound. Organic nitrates are usually produced by the nitration of an alcohol, amine, or other organic compound. Nitrate compounds are generally colorless and water-soluble, and they are used in a wide range of applications, such as fertilizers, explosives, and preservatives. In the environment, nitrate compounds can be broken down by microorganisms and converted into nitrogen gas, which is essential for many ecosystems.
