Lewis Structures are used to describe the covalent bonding in molecules and ions. Draw a Lewis structure for NO3- and answer the following questions based on your drawing. 1. For the central nitrogen atom:

The number of lone pairs =
The number of single bonds=
The number of double bonds=

2. The central nitrogen atom :

The lewis structure for NO₃⁻ is shown in the attachment below

For the central nitrogen atom:

The number of lone pairs = 0

The number of single bonds = 2  

The number of double bonds= 1

Explanation:

The lewis structure for NO₃⁻ is shown in the attachment below.

From the Lewis structure

For the central nitrogen atom:

The number of lone pairs = 0

The number of single bonds = 2  

The number of double bonds= 1

the correct name for the n3 ion is azide. azide is a polyatomic anion with a -1 charge and is written as n3 -1. it consists of three nitrogen atoms bonded together. hope i . let me know if you need anything else.

elements make up everything, and they combine to make compounds.

the answer is c
