vertical integration. Merger of companies at different stages of production and/or distribution in the same industry. When a company acquires its input supplier it is called backward integration. When it acquires companies in its distribution chain it is called forward integration.
What is Nitrite. Nitrites is also a polyatomic ion containing N and O atoms, where Nitrogen has an oxidation number of +3. The Nitrite group contains one Nitrogen atom and two Oxygen atoms and is represented by the molecular formula, NO2-. The O-N-O bond angle is roughly around 120Â°.
Nitrite is also important in biochemistry as a source of the potent vasodilator nitric oxide. In organic chemistry the NO 2 group is present in nitrous acid esters and nitro compounds. Nitrites are also used in the food production industry for curing meat.ot to be confused with nitrate. The nitrite ion, which has the chemical formula NO 2 â , is a symmetric anion with equal NâO bond lengths and an OâNâO bond angle of approximately 120Â°.
