Vedclass · Answer

(D) The $N$ atom in the $NO_3^-$ ion is bonded to three oxygen atoms. One double bond and two single bonds are formed to satisfy the octet rule and formal charges,resulting in $4$ bond pairs around the nitrogen atom. The valence shell of nitrogen has $5$ electrons. In $NO_3^-$,nitrogen forms $4$ bonds (one double and two single),utilizing all $5$ valence electrons (one electron is used for the negative charge). Therefore,the number of lone pairs on the $N$ atom is $0$.
