valence electron of N is +5 and
valency of O is -2.(We have taken N as metal as it reacts with 0)
So, valency of NO3=5-2*3=(-1)

mrUebishhvn: it exists in 2 forms?
RaunakRaj: nitrigen have 5 valence electron either N donates 5 electron or take 3
mrUebishhvn: ohhh....that's the reason!
RaunakRaj: since it is easy to take 3 electrons than giving 5. N is considered to have valency of -3
mrUebishhvn: then why it donates 5 electrons in this case
RaunakRaj: you can also understand is by drawing structure in class 11
RaunakRaj: it*
mrUebishhvn: ok bro
mrUebishhvn: thanks alot
RaunakRaj: wlcm
