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°.
The chemical formula of ammonium nitrate is NH4NO3: it has two nitrogen (N) atoms, four hydrogen (H) atoms, and three oxygen (O) atoms. Ammonium nitrate contains two ions: one ammonium ion (NH4+) and one nitrate ion (NO3-), so the bond between these two ions is what we call an ionic bond. The structure of the formula of ammonium nitrate is shown in the following illustration:
