Draw the Lewis Structure for NO4 3- (as well as any resonance structures) and offer an explanation why the NO4 3- anion is unstable
Added by Tonya C.
Step 1
Count the total number of valence electrons: Nitrogen (N) has 5 valence electrons, each Oxygen (O) has 6 valence electrons, and there are 3 extra electrons due to the 3- charge. So, total valence electrons = 5+(4*6)+3 = 30. Show more…

Draw a Lewis structure for NO3 -. You may upload a picture of your Lewis structure in the space provided. Answer the following questions based on your Lewis structure. Please write your answers in the space provided below. 1. What is the bonding pattern of the central atom N (number of single bonds and/or double bonds and/or triple bonds N forms) 2. What is the hybridization of the central atom N? 3. What is the electron and molecular geometry of N? 4. Calculate the formal charge of N and one of the O atoms - you must show your work 5. How many resonance structures does NO3- have if any? Please explain your answer.
