In `NO_(3)^(-)` ion, the number of bond pairs and lone pairs of electrons on nitrogen atom are
Thinking process
To solve this sequence we must know the structure of `NO_(3)^(-)` ion i.e,

Then, cound the bond pairs and lone pairs of electron on nitrogen.

A

`2,2`

B

`3,1`

C

`1,3`

D

`4,0`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The Lewis representation of `NO_(3)^(-) ` is
`[underset(..)overset(..)(O)=underset(..)underset(":O:")underset(|)N-underset(..)overset(..)(O):]`
Thus, N atom has 4 bond pairs and 0 lone pairs of electrons.
