Look at your lewis structure of the nitric acid above. compare thatto the structure of a nitrate ion. different sites on the nitrateion function as lewis acids and lewis bases. remember: a lewis baseis an e- pair donor. a lewis acid is an e- pair acceptor. which statements below are true for the nitrate ion? the nfunctions as a lewis acidic site, and the o's function as lewisbasic sites. the nand o's function as a lewis basic sites. the o'sfunction as a lewis acidic sites, and the n functions as a lewisbasic site. the nand o's function as a lewis acidic sites. the h1+ ion (actually solvated in water as theh3o1+ ion), willacceptelectrons, functioning as a lewis acid. acceptelectrons, functioning as a lewis base. donateelectrons, functioning as a lewis acid. donateelectrons, functioning as a lewis base. which site on the nitrate ion would the h1+ ion mostlikely have an interaction with? thenitrogen with four bonds and +1 formal charge. anyoxygen. theoxygens with a single bond and -1 formal charge. theoxygen with a double bond and no (zero) formalcharge.
