Question

In the ionic solid $N{H}_{4}N{O}_3$, ions present are:

• A. $N{H}_4^{+}$ and $N{O}_3^{-}$
• B. $N^{5+},H^{+}$ and $O^{2-}$
• C. $N{H}_4^{-},N^{5+}$ and $O^{2-}$
• D. $N{H}_3,H^{+}$ and $N{O}_3^{-}$
• E. $N^{5+},N^{3-},H^{+}$ and $O^{2-}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $N{H}_4^{+}$ and $N{O}_3^{-}$

In the ionic solid ammonium nitrate $N{H}_{4}N{O}_3$, ions present are ammonium $N{H}_4^{+}$ and nitrate $N{O}_3^{-}$. Strong electrostatic force of attraction is present between oppositely charged ions.
