Discuss the nature of the bonding in the nitrate ion (NO5). Draw the possible Lewis resonance diagrams for this ion. Use the VSEPR theory to determine the steric number, the hybridization of the central N atom, and the geometry of the ion. Show how the use of resonance structures can be avoided by introducing a de-localized 7 MO. What bond order is predicted by the MO model for the N-O bonds in the nitrate ion?
