ammonia > nitrite > nitrate

 

[florida joe]

i before a is how i remember it but dont forget I am old

 

[alix2.0]

uh... but... a comes before i.

 

[robertmathern]

+1 I was thinking the same thing joe you must be old if you were around before they invented the alphabet lol

But they are right

 

[prime311]

A after I except in unai or when sounding like Ay as in trail or terrain

 

[rotarymagic]

nitrite NO2, nitrate NO3 there are charges on them too.. they're ions.

 

[camfish]

NO2 comes before NO3...The aerobic bacteria Aerates the nitrite to make nitrate, which is why there is another oxygen atom. So...nitrite before nitrate
