Question

Write resonance structures of NO₃⁻ ion

Answer 1

Answer:

NO3– There are 3 possible resonance structures that satisfy the octet rule. In each resonance structure, the formal charge on N = +1; the formal charge on the N = O oxygen = 0; and the formal charge on each of the N – O oxygens = –1. The actual structure is an equal mixture of the 3 resonance structures
