Best Answer

Nitric Acid is a fairly strong acid. The loose H-N bond is why it is an acid to begin with: the oxygens pull electron density away from the Nitrogen and weaken the bond between the nitrogen and hydrogen, allowing it to easily fall off. Nitric acid is also the only compound to dissolve metallic copper!
