Best Answer

NO3 is not an acid but would be an acid if it had H(hydrogen) in front of it

To improve on this: NO3- is the conjugate base of HNO3, which is a strong acid. Because the conjugate base of any strong acid is an EXTREMELY weak base, it could for most intents and purposes be considered neutral as it is highly unlikely to significantly raise the pH of a solution.

NO2 is a molecule, not an ion. It is nitrogen dioxide.

However, there is the polyatomic ion NO2- called the nitrite ion. Not to be confused with nitrate (NO3-).
