AgNO3 (Silver nitrate) is made of silver on its ionic form (Ag+), Nitrogen and Oxygen (these two elements are forming another ion called nitrate, which is formed by one atom of Nitrogen and three atoms of oxygen).
Ag+ + NO3- = AgNO3
3O2- + N+5 = NO3-

AgNO3 titration is commonly used to determine the concentration of chloride ions in a solution. Silver nitrate (AgNO3) reacts with chloride ions to form a white precipitate of silver chloride. The amount of AgNO3 required to completely precipitate all the chloride ions can be used to calculate the concentration of chloride in the solution.
Fluorine is not detected in a sodium extract with AgNO3 solution because the concentration of fluoride ions in the extract is below the detection limit of the AgNO3 solution. Fluoride ions have a very low reactivity with silver ions compared to other halide ions like chloride, bromide, and iodide, so they do not form a precipitate with AgNO3 under the conditions of the test.
When silver nitrate (AgNO3) is dissolved in water (H2O), it dissociates into silver ions (Ag+) and nitrate ions (NO3-). Therefore, the solution contains silver ions and nitrate ions but no hydrogen ions (H+).
The intermolecular force in AgNO3 is mainly ionic bonding, as silver nitrate is a salt composed of positively charged silver ions (Ag+) and negatively charged nitrate ions (NO3-). This strong electrostatic attraction between the charged ions holds the crystal lattice together.
The symbol would be Pb2+ for lead ions. Lead forms an insoluble white precipitate (PbCl2) with AgNO3 that does not dissolve in HNO3.
