In the correct lewis structure for the nitrate ion, no3 –­, nitrogen has how many covalent bonds?

Answer :  The correct Lewis-dot structure of nitrate ion is shown below and the nitrogen has 4 covalent bonds.

Explanation :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.  The number of valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, nitrate ion

As we know that nitrogen has '5' valence electrons and oxygen has '6' valence electron.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in = 5 + 3(6) + 1 = 24 electrons

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 8 number of bonding electrons and 16 number of non-bonding electrons.

The correct Lewis-dot structure of nitrate ion is shown below.

In meteorology, a  cloud  is an aerosol consisting of a visible mass of minute liquid droplets, frozen crystals, or other particles suspended in the atmosphere of a planetary body. nephology is the science of  clouds, which is undertaken in the  cloud  physics branch of meteorology.cirrus clouds  usually describe clouds high in the atmosphere that can include wispy clouds, typically with ice crystals. variations include cirrus, cirrocumulus and cirrostratus as defined by the cloud's position in the atmosphere.layered stratus clouds  have both flat tops and bases, and can appear as if they take up the whole sky, stretching from horizon to horizon. other combinations and variations include stratus, stratocumulus, nimbostratus and altostratus.cumulus clouds  often pile up in multiple layers of the atmosphere, representing clouds that develop vertically. cumulus clouds often look like pillars with anvil-type tops or columns of clouds stacked vertically. variations include cumulus, cumulus-congestus, cumulonimbus and altocumulus.

Heat is involved in chemical change in two ways; chemical changes either result in heat being added to or removed from an object, and chemical changes require a certain amount of heat before they can take place.
