Whats the formula and charge for the nitride ion?
Symbol= N Valency =3
What is the charge on each ion in magnesium nitride?
Mg2+ N (3-)
What is the formula and charge for nitride?
It is an ion with -3 charge of Nitrogen connected to an element.The formula of calcium nitride suppose is Ca2N3
The common charge of a nitride ion is___?
It's actually a 3- charge. I believe Roxi was thinking of a nitrate ion, not nitride.
Based on the charge of the nitride ion (-3), predict the formula of magnesium nitride.?
Mg has charge +2. So the formula would be Mg3N2
Why does nitrate (NO3) have a -1 charge if a nitride ion has a charge of -3?
[math]NO_3^-[/math] ion:in its three resonance forms with a positive charge on the nitrogen and two negatively charged oxygen atoms.On the other hand, a Nitride ion is an nitrogen atom with 3 extra electrons, hence it has -3e in charge.So they are completely different ions and the oxidation state of nitrogen is different in each. In Nitrate nitrogen has an oxidation state of +1 (like overall it has lost an electron), while in Nitride an oxidation state of -3.
How can nitrite and nitrate have the same charge?
The nitrite structure you've shown doesn't seem to have the charges quite right. There is in fact one negative charge shared equally by the two oxygen atoms. If it weren't for the dashed-line resonance "bond" between ONO, each O would carry a negative charge of one (and N would fail to have an octet, but ignore that for now). Here are resonance structures for NO2 shown in a way parallel to how you've represented NO3:
What is the charge on the monoatomic ion of nitrogen, the nitride ion?
The Nitride ion is N^3-, making it a negatively charged ion.
What is the charge of the monatomic ion of nitrogen nitride?
Since a nitrogen atom has five valence electrons, it will tend to gain three when it forms an ion. The resulting nitride ion will have a charge of 3-.
What is the formula of the nitride ion?
a nitride is a compound of nitrogen where nitrogen has a formal oxidation state of −3.Therefore, the overall charge on the nitride anion is 3- so N3−→ the nitride anion
