Best Answer

Nitrate is a negative ion (anion), NO3-. It does not exist in isolation, but must be part of a compound with a positive ion (cation). Examples of nitrate salts are sodium nitrate, NaNO3-, magnesium nitrate, Mg(NO3)2 and ammonium nitrate, NH4NO3. These salts are solid at room temperature and water soluble.

(When nitric acid, HNO3, dissolves in water the solution also contains the nitrate ion as well as hydrogen ions)
