The nitride ion is N3-, three nitrogen atoms bound by three extra electrons to form one molecule of nitrogen.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitride
The nitrite ion is NO2-. One nitrogen atom with two oxygen atoms that share an electron to form a molecule of nitrogen dioxide.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrite
The nitrate ion is NO32-. The nitrate ion carries a formal charge of negative two, where each oxygen carries a −2/3 charge while the nitrogen carries a +1 charge.

Nitrate is the polyatomic ion NO3- (1 central nitrogen atom bonded to 3 oxygen atoms, -1 charge)
Chlorate is the polyatomic ClO3- (1 central chlorine atom bonded to 3 oxygen atoms, -1 charge)
Chloride is the monatomic ion Cl- (1 chlorine atom, -1 charge)
For health, nitrate is better than nitrite.
NO2 is nitrogen dioxide and is a chemical compound; nitrite (NO2)- is an anion.
Nitrogen(N) is a element while Nitrate(NO3-) is a ion(compound).
Nitrate is NO3- Nitrite is NO2-
So nitrate has one additional oxygen atom.
sodium is an element while sodium nitrate is a compound.
The nitrite ion has one less oxygen atom.
Nitrite (NO2) has a negative one (-1) charge (the same as a nitrate ion)
The chemical formula for the nitrite ion is NO2-. On the other hand the nitrate ion has chemical formula NO3-.
Nitrate has more oxygen, as determined by the suffix, ate. If that doesn't make sense, try page 225 of your Modern Chemistry textbook.
If positive Nitrite means NO2+ ion, that refers to Nitronium ion
The formula for lead(IV) ion is Pb4+ and for nitrite ion is NO2-.
A nitrate ion and nitrite ion have the same charge of -1. The difference between the two ions is that nitrates formula is NO3 while nitrites formula is NO2.
The nitrite ion has one less oxygen atom.
Nitrite (NO2) has a negative one (-1) charge (the same as a nitrate ion)
The chemical formula for the nitrite ion is NO2-. On the other hand the nitrate ion has chemical formula NO3-.
due to resonance structures
Nitrate ion is NO3-1 while Nitride is N-3.
This is known as a Nitrate, the 'ate' ending means it has Oxygen in it, the 'Nitr' represents the Nitrogen part.
NO2−, nitrite ionNO2+, nitronium ion
Nitrogen forms n(N3-),Azide ion and radicals like nitronium,nitrate,nitrite
KNO2 is also known as potassium nitrite. It is composed of a potassium cation, and a nitrite anion ion. This compound should not be confused with KNO3, potassium nitrate.
Nitraite = NO3 One Nitrogen atom (N) Three Oxygen atoms (O3)
The ion nitrate used in curing is converted to nitrite by enzymes or bacteria. The nitrite then prevents the bacteria from growing.
