Question

In NO3- ion number of bond pair and lone pair of electrons on nitrogen atom are?

Answer 1

In NO3⁻ ion number of bond pair and lone pair of electrons on nitrogen atom is 4,0.

Answer 2

In $N O_{3}^{-}$ ions, the number of bond pair electron and the lone pair electron are 4,0.

Explanation:

• In N-atom the number of valence electron present is 5. Due to the presence of a single negative electron then the total number of valence electron present in it is 5+1 =6.
• And one O-atom forms the two bond (double bond ) and two O-atom shared with two-electron of N-atom.
• Similarly, thus 3 O-atom shares the 8 electron of N-atom.
• Finally, the "number of bonding pairs" is 4 and the "number of lone pair" is 0.
