Question

How can we draw the dot diagram of sodium nitrate. Plz comment if u don't understand the question

Answer 1

Answer:

HLW MATE☺

Every line between atoms represents two electrons, so there are 4 electrons between the N in the middle and the top O, two electrons between the N and the O to the bottom left and the O to the bottom right (that's the NO3 ion). one dot hanging off the left O and one dot between the right O and the Na. Each atom (except Hydrogen, which only has two electrons total) has to have 8 electrons, either as lines (two per line) or as dots (one per dot). Add dots to the Os and Na until they all have 8 dots. That's the Lewis dot structure. The hard part is figuring out what shape the molecule should be in. If you look in Wikipedia (under the IUPAC name) in the Structure box, it will tell you the shape of the molecule. The first one listed is the most

Answer 2

Answer:

The nitrate ion, according to its Lewis diagram, has two types of nitrogen-oxygen bonds, one double bond and two single bonds, suggesting that one nitrogen-oxygen bond in the nitrate ion is shorter and stronger than each of the other two.
