Question

what is the name of nano3? sodium nitrate sodium nitrite sodium(i) nitrate nitrogen nitrate

Explanation:

• Sodium nitrate is composed of sodium (\(Na^+\)) and nitrate (\(NO_3^-\)) ions.
• Sodium nitrite has the formula \(NaNO_2\) (nitrite is \(NO_2^-\)).
• Sodium(I) nitrate is an incorrect naming convention as sodium only has a +1 oxidation state in simple salts and the (I) is redundant.
• Nitrogen nitrate is an incorrect name as the cation is sodium, not nitrogen.

Answer:

sodium nitrate
