What element is NO3?
NO3- stands for nitrate anion. It has to have one negative charge ( .- ) in superscript position.
What is the name of the ionic compound Cu(NO3)2?
This compound is copper(II) nitrate.
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
What is the ionic charge of Na2?
N2O is a neutral molecule, nitrous oxide, it is isoelectronic with CO2. (There is an N2O- anion produced as an unstable intermediate in radiolysis experiments which dissociates to form O- radical anion and nitrogen.
How many nitrogen atoms are in a formula unit of magnesium nitrate?
The formula for magnesium nitride is Mg3N2, so there are two nitrogen atoms present in a single molecule of magnesium nitride. In this case, the magnesium has a +2 charge, and the nitrogen has a -3 charge, which accounts for why more than one of each must come together and form a molecule (the total charge needs to be zero).
What element is NO3?
NO3- stands for nitrate anion. It has to have one negative charge ( .- ) in superscript position.
What is the difference between the nitrite and nitrate ion?
The nitride ion is N3-, three nitrogen atoms bound by three extra electrons to form one molecule of nitrogen.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NitrideThe 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/NitriteThe 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.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrate
Does Nitrate have a 3- charge?
No. A nitrate anion has a 1- charge.
What is the name of the ionic compound Cu(NO3)2?
This compound is copper(II) nitrate.
How do you get the ion charge for nitrate?
Nitrate has a single, negative charge - NO3-
What is the compound formula for Strontium Nitrate?
The chemical formula for strontium and nitrogen is Sr3N2.
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
What is the chemical charge of nitrate?
nitrate ion is: NO3- , so it has a -1 charge
What is the number of atoms in calcium nitrate?
Calcium ions have a charge of +2 and nitrate ions (NO3) have a charge of -1. Because compounds are neutral, you need two nitrate ions to cancel out one calcium ion. Thus the formula for calcium nitrate is Ca(NO3)2. Nitrate has four atoms (one nitrogen and three oxygen). But there are two nitrate ions, so that makes eight atoms. Then you add on the one calcium atom for a total of nineatoms.
What is the ionic charge for nitrogen in NO3?
-1 or -2 i cant remember but im pretty sure -1.
How does NO3- have a negative charge?
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 −2⁄3 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.Please see the related link below.
