Yes
The nitrate ion (NO3-) is more stable than the nitrite ion (NO2-) because it has a full octet of electrons in its valence shell, satisfying the octet rule. The nitrite ion, on the other hand, has one less oxygen atom and therefore does not have a full octet, making it less stable. This extra oxygen atom in nitrate allows for more resonance structures, which distributes the charge more evenly and stabilizes the ion.
The structures for this question weren't provided for me to choose from. The answer would be C. The structure has the combination in the middle C, C, O,H with three H's around the first C and one at the top of the second C.
NO2 is more harmful to the environment than NO2-.
The conjugate base of HNO2 is NO2-. When HNO2 loses a proton, it forms its conjugate base, nitrite ion (NO2-).
NO2 plus (NO2+) is a cationic species with a positive charge, while NO2 is a neutral molecule. NO2 is a brown gas at room temperature, whereas NO2+ is a highly reactive and unstable species that is rarely encountered independently.
A Lewis structure that violates the octet rule would be one where a central atom doesn't have an octet of electrons, but has less or more than eight electrons around it. Examples include molecules with an odd number of valence electrons, such as NO or radicals like NO2.

NO2 is the molecular formula for NO2.
No. NO2 Is Nitrogen Dioxide.

Determine the molar mass of NO2 using the subscripts in the formula and the atomic weights in grams from the periodic table. 1 mole NO2 = (1 x 14.0067g N) + (2 x 15.9994g O) = 46.0055g NO2 Calculate the moles NO2 by dividing the given mass by the molar mass. 25.5g NO2 x (1mol NO2/46.0055g NO2) = 0.554mol NO2
NO2 is the chemical formula for nitrous oxide.
Nitrite: NO2-
The name of NO2- is nitrite.
