In the NO − 3 anion, the oxidation state of the central nitrogen atom is V (+5). This corresponds to the highest possible oxidation number of nitrogen. Nitrate is a potentially powerful oxidizer as evidenced by its explosive behaviour at high temperature when it is detonated in ammonium nitrate (NH 4 NO 3), or black powder, ignited by the shock wave of a primary explosive.
Sodium nitrate is the chemical compound with the formula Na N O 3. This alkali metal nitrate salt is also known as Chile saltpeter (large deposits of which were historically mined in Chile) [4] [5] to distinguish it from ordinary saltpeter, potassium nitrate. The mineral form is also known as nitratine, nitratite or soda niter.
Rhodium(III) nitrate is a inorganic compound, a salt of rhodium and nitric acid with the formula Rh(NO 3) 3. This anhydrous complex has been the subject of theoretical analysis but has not been isolated. [ 4 ]
The relatively complicated formula - [Cr(H 2 O) 6](NO 3) 3 •3H 2 O - betray a simple structure of this material. The chromium centers are bound to six aquo ligands, and the remaining volume of the solid is occupied by three nitrate anions and three molecules of water of crystallization. [3]
Iron(III) nitrate, or ferric nitrate, is the name used for a series of inorganic compounds with the formula Fe(NO 3) 3. (H 2 O) n. Most common is the nonahydrate Fe(NO 3) 3. (H 2 O) 9. The hydrates are all pale colored, water-soluble paramagnetic salts.
Nitrogen trioxide or nitrate radical is an oxide of nitrogen with formula NO 3, consisting of three oxygen atoms covalently bound to a nitrogen atom. This highly unstable blue compound has not been isolated in pure form, but can be generated and observed as a short-lived component of gas, liquid, or solid systems.
Europium(III) nitrate is an inorganic compound with the formula Eu(NO 3) 3 ·x(H 2 O). The hexahydrate is a common salt. The hexahydrate is a common salt. It forms colorless hygroscopic crystals.
Bismuth(III) nitrate is a salt composed of bismuth in its cationic +3 oxidation state and nitrate anions. The most common solid form is the pentahydrate. [3] It is used in the synthesis of other bismuth compounds. [4] It is available commercially. It is the only nitrate salt formed by a group 15 element, indicative of bismuth's metallic nature. [5]
