The electron-domain geometry and molecular geometry of the nitrate ion are trigonal bipyramidal and trigonal planar, respectively.
Added by Sheryl E.
Step 1
Step 1: Draw the electron domain geometry of the nitrate ion, which is trigonal planar with one nitrogen atom in the center and three oxygen atoms surrounding it, each forming a single bond with the nitrogen atom. Show more…
