∙ 11y agoIt's the other way around. Three potassium atoms will transfer their single valence electrons to the single nitrogen atom. The three potassium ions then become positively charged K+ ions, and the nitrogen atom becomes a negatively charged nitride ion with a charge of 3- and the symbol N3-. The formula for potassium nitride is K3N.

Why nitrogen is trivalent?
Because it contain 3 unpaired electrons in its outer most orbit which incolve in bond formation

How many valence electrons are transferred from the nitrogen atom to potassium in the formation of the compound?
Potassium loses one valence electron to the more electronegative nitrogen to form the compound potassium notride

What is the formation of a nitride ion from a neutral nitrogen atom?
they are formed when nitrogen come in contact with more electropositive metals who force it to take electrons from them.
