Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Number of electrons in nitrogen = 7 and number of electron is oxygen = 8 we know that formula of nitrate ion is 
we also know that number of electron
= (1 × Number of electrons in nitrogen)
+ (3 × number of electrons in oxygen) + 1
= (1 × 7) + (3 × 8) + 1 = 32.
