Apr 15, 2016 · Tin (II) has an oxidation state of +2 and nitride has an oxidation state of -3, so a balanced compound will have the formula Sn_3N_2 (+6 and -6 for a total of 0).

Oct 30, 2015 · Magnesium is in Group 2, nitrogen is in Group 15; the formula is as you would predict from magnesium ion, #Mg^(2+)#, and nitride anion, #N^(3-)#. This is an ionic solid that hydrolyzes to give ammonia, and magnesium hydroxide, I.e.:

Jan 5, 2016 · Nitrogen is an element in group 5 of the periodic table. When it forms the nitride ion, it gains three electrons to form a "3-" ion: "N"^(3-). In ionic compounds, the charges of constituent ions must balance. This can be achieved by having three sodium ions per nitride ion. Therefore, the formula of sodium nitride is "Na"_3"N".

Mar 9, 2016 · Ba_3N_2 Barium is an alkaline earth metal, and forms Ba^(2+) ions; nitrogen is from Group 15, and can form nitride ions, N^(3-). The salt that forms will be electrostatically neutral, so a formula of Ba_3N_2. Charge is balanced.

Jul 2, 2014 · The correct answer is K_3N. To see how we arrived at that answer, we first have to examine the electronic configuration of K and N. K has 19 electrons and has the following electronic configuration rarr 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^1 As potassium obeys the octet rule, it will lose one electron in its 4s subshell to achieve a stable octet noble gas configuration, …

Sep 19, 2016 · Li_3N Lithium nitride contains the N^(3-) ion. And lithium is one of the few materials that will directly fix dinitrogen: 3Li + 1/2N_2 rarr Li_3N What do you think would happen if you mixed lithium nitride with water?

The formula for barium nitride is Ba 3 N 2.. To determine the formula, locate both barium and nitrogen on the periodic table.

Jun 5, 2024 · The chemical formula for iron (III) nitride is Fe3N2. It indicates that there are three iron atoms for every two nitrogen atoms in the compound. What is the chemical name for AuN?

Jul 3, 2014 · It loses two electron in its 4s subshell to achieve stability and forms ion Ca^(2+). Ca^(2+) = 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^6 N ( Z=7) on the other hand has seven electrons and wants to gain three electrons to achieve stable noble gas configuration.Nitrogen atom on gaining three electrons forms negative nitride ion, N^(3-) ion.
