Resonance Structures of NO3(-1), nitrate ion

There are three equally-valid Lewis structures for the nitrate ion, which is one nitrogen atom surrounded by three oxygen atoms (with one bonus electron from the -1 charge). These combine to make a "resonance hybrid" which reflects the delocalized electrons among the three N-O bonds.

love the way you explain things. Glad I found your channel. suddenly chemistry has become an easy subject for me.

Finally understood resonance structures! Thank you so much !! 😊

[@inothandoroselin7330]

Thanks, the video is straight and forward

[@bratinmondal377]

Pls tell me is nitrate ion a stronger base than halide ions??

[@leonidaspitenis5499]

a yeah you get the 3 electrons to form bonds with oxygen and the 1 non bonding pairs we forget about them. Great strat nice video (not even close)

[@Anonymous-cw2my]

Nitrogen here formed 3 bonds so 2 lone pair electrons are there with nitrogen then why it's octet is not fullfilled

[@user-t5us9qnw]

Because central atom donot follow the lewis dot structure It could have more than 8 electrons

[@karansodari9213]

​@@user-t5us9qnwthen won't there be contradiction in formal charge as it has one lone electron ?

Well explained
