nitraattiionin
The nitrate ion, with the chemical formula NO3-, is a polyatomic anion composed of a central nitrogen atom covalently bonded to three oxygen atoms. The overall charge of the ion is negative one. In the nitrate ion, the nitrogen atom is in its highest oxidation state, +5. The ion is planar and symmetrical, with resonance structures that delocalize the negative charge across the oxygen atoms.
Nitrate is a common component of fertilizers, as nitrogen is an essential nutrient for plant growth. It
