The Lewis structure of the nitrate ion, NO₃^- is shown above. Nitrogen atom has the exception to the octet rule of

• Incomplete octet

• Expanded octet

• Odd number electron

• None of above

Molecule X have five bonding pairs only around the central atom. The shape of molecule X is best described as

• trigonal planar

• tetrahedral

• trigonal bipyramidal

• octahedral

Choose a false statement.

• Bond length is the distance between a central atom and terminal atom

• Bond angle is the angle of two covalent bonds

• Lone pair is a pair of electrons that are not involved in bonding

• The repulsion of lone pair-lone pair is stronger than lone pair-bonding pair

The bond angle in methane, CH₄ is

Choose a correct statement of nitrate ion, NO₃^-.

• The central atom is surrounded by 4 bonding pairs

• The angle between two covalent bonds is 120°

• The length of single bonded N-O is shorter than double bonded N-O

• All atoms obey octet rule, except the double bonded oxygen
