How many bond pair electrons and lone pair electrons are present in ?
In NO3- ions, to know the no. of bond pairs
NO3- =[5+6(3)+1]=24 electrons
→The central atom, Nitrogen has 4 bonded pairs with the 3 oxygen atoms (3σ,1π)
→Nitrogen does not have any lone pairs of electrons.
Correct ans:- Bond pairs and lone pairs of electrons on nitrogen atom are 4 and 0
