Quoted from the Wikipedia article titled Nitrate: "The nitrate ion is a polyatomic ion with the molecular formula NO3− and a molecular mass of 62.0049 g/mol. It is the conjugate base of nitric acid, consisting of one central nitrogen atom surrounded by three identical oxygen atoms in a trigonal planar arrangement. The nitrate ion carries a formal charge of negative one, where each oxygen carries a −2â„3 charge whereas the nitrogen carries a +1 charge, and is commonly used as an example of resonance."
Me: The -2/3 charge on the three oxygen atoms adds up to -6/3, which is -2. So the overall charge on the oxygen atoms is -2. At the same time, the nitrogen atom has a charge of +1. Simple addition tells us that -2 + 1 = -1, so the overall charge on a nitrate ion is -1.

What is the charge of no3 2?
The NO3 polyatomic anion has a charge of 1-. Writing (NO3)3 means there are 3 such anions, each with a 1- charge, or a total charge of 3-. An example of this might be in the compound aluminum nitrate, Al(NO3)3.
How determine the charge of Al(NO3)3?
The compound is neutral; the ions are Al(3+) and (NO3)-.
What is the formal charge on N in NO3?
-2
What is the overall charge of nitride?
The charge of a nitride ion is -1 http://www.hypoidgear.com/Gear1/attachments/049_Polyatomic%20Ionic%20Compounds.pdf
What is a compound that has a charge?
Some compounds have a charge. It depends on the charges of the components of the compound. For example, NO3- has a charge of -1 because the charge of its components are each O is 2- and the N is 5+,..
Does cyanide have a positive charge?
no, it has a negative charge
How do you get the ion charge for nitrate?
Nitrate has a single, negative charge - NO3-
What is the ionic charge for nitrogen in NO3?
-1 or -2 i cant remember but im pretty sure -1.
Does NO3 have a positive or negative charge?
According to the endless studying I have done in college involving chemistry, NO3 which is called nitrate has a negative charge of 1 or written as -1. If you need help remembering the charge, just think of nitric acid ( HNO3) where the Hydrogen has a positive 1 charge, which means the NO3 has to have a -1 charge.
What is the name of the formula NO3?
The name of NO3 with a negative 1 charge is Nitrate and the formula is NO3-1 See attached link for more information.
Molecular formula of nitrate?
NO3 with a negative 1 charge (and the 3 is the number of oxygen)
What is the formula for a nitride ion?
NO3- no, that is NOT right. nitrate ion is Nitrogen with a negative three charge N-3
Is no3 polar?
I think you mean the nitrate ion. Yes, that is a polyatomic ion with a negative charge. You write it as : NO3-
What is the charge on nitrate?
H+1 and NO3-1 produce nitric acid. The two charges cancel so the compound has a net charge of 0.
What state is NO3 in?
NO3 (or more properly NO3-) does not exist in any particular state, it is an ion that does not exist on its ow. Due to its negative charge it must be accompanied by some positive ion. Compound containing this are solids, however.
Which of the following polyatomic ions have the same charge as the hydroxide ion?
Nitrate (NO3^-), because the Hydroxide ion also has a negative one charge (OH^-)
What is the charge of no3 2?
The NO3 polyatomic anion has a charge of 1-. Writing (NO3)3 means there are 3 such anions, each with a 1- charge, or a total charge of 3-. An example of this might be in the compound aluminum nitrate, Al(NO3)3.
