Explain the valence differences etc between the two polyatomic ions: nitrate and nitrite.

Both Nitrates and Nitrites are inorganic chemical compounds, and as the names imply, the characteristic element in them is ‘N’ or Nitrogen, which has an atomic number of 7. Nitrogen is an odourless diatomic gas in nature and is reactive. The element Nitrogen is also highly electro-negative. And both Nitrates and Nitrites are two important classes of Nitrogen-containing compounds. The main difference between Nitrate and Nitrite is that Nitrate group contains one Nitrogen atom and three Oxygen atoms whereas Nitrite group contains one Nitrogen atom and two Oxyg

Both Nitrates and Nitrites are inorganic chemical compounds, and as the names imply, the characteristic element in them is ‘N’ or Nitrogen, which has an atomic number of 7.

Hope this helps.
