The combination of Nitrogen + 3Oxys => NO3^- (Nitrate Ion. If you've got something else, I'd be interested in what it is...
NO3^- is a trigonal planar molecular geometry with Nitrogen having a formal charge = +2 and each of the 3 oxys -1 => Sum of formal charges = -1 'net polyionic charge'. Any other combination violates the octet rule.
What is the name of the compound NO3.
(Not NO3-, nitrate)????
Please help!

If it exists I would name it nitrogen trioxide.
