Not quite. Sodium nitrate is a compound composed of two monovalent ions, sodium +1 which is a cation (that is, a positively charged ion) and nitrate -1 which is an anion (a negatively charged ion) which together form a neutral or uncharged compound.

What is Nitrate?

It usually means adding NO2 to a molecule. So for benzene for example, if reacted with concentrated Nitric acid and a small amount of oleum, would produce nitrobenzene. The benzene will have been "nitrated"
