Which of the following statement is correct for N O 3 - ion?

Options

  1. ASum of all formal charges = +1
  2. BFormal charge on one of the oxygen atom = -2
  3. CFormal charge on nitrogen atom = +1
  4. DAverage formal charge on oxygen atom = - 1 3

Correct answer

C. Formal charge on nitrogen atom = +1

Step-by-step solution

Here formal charge on N-atoms is +1 and average formal charge on oxygen atom is - 2 3
