In NO3- ion, the number of bond pairs and lone pairs of electrons on nitrogen atom are

Ques: In NO3- ion, the number of bond pairs and lone pairs of electrons on nitrogen atom are

(a) 2, 2 

(b) 3, 1 

(c) 1,3 

(d) 4, 0

Sol: (d) In N-atom, numbers of valence electron = 5.

Due to the presence of 1 negative charge on nitrate ion, number of valence electrons = 5 + 1 = 6. One Oxygen- atom forms two bonds (= bond) and two O-atom are shared with two electrons of N-atom.

Thus, 3 Oxygen-atoms are shared with 8 electrons of N-atom.

Number of bond pairs (or shared pairs) = 4.

N umber of lone pairs = 0.

2.0 gram of a metal burst in oxygen give 3.2 gram of its oxide. 1.42 gram of the same metal heat in steam give 2.27 gram of its oxide which toys shown by this data?
