The Nitride ion N3- will be protonated very quickly in an aqueous solution and is therefor not found in solution under ordinary circumstances. If you look at a molecule of water you see that the electrons spend the majority of the time near the oxygen atom, which means the two hydrogen atoms are (for demonstrative reasons) bare protons. A single hydrogen ion would be pulled from the water molecule and would bond with the N3- ion. Under normal circumstances the reaction should go like this:
3H2O + N3- --> 3OH- + NH3
This is an ideal reaction for the nitride ion, however, it is not likely to happen, what will more often than not happen is this:
H2O + N3- --> OH- + NH2-
THEN
H2O + NH2- --> OH-+ NH2-
THEN
R + NH2- -->RNH2
OVERALL REACTION:
R + 2H2O + N3- --> RNH2 + 2OH-
This R group could be any other element present in the solution such as a metal impurity that is capable of bonding with an amine or another hydrogen ion. The reason that the nitride will not take both hydrogen's from a water molecule is because it is much more energetically favorable to take a hydrogen from a new water molecule than it is to pull off the second hydrogen to form O2-. This can occur, but will not unless the nitride is in excess, and this simply would never happen under normal circumstances.
Edit: Added an overal reaction and fixed the charges on the second phase of the reaction.
gallium nitride with water? what happen, if Ga ions separate or not. or any other reaction is possible?
Nitride Ion.
nitride has a -3 charge
Nitrate ion is NO3-1 while Nitride is N-3.
It is called a Nitride Ion
Formula = N3-
Nitride Ion.
One way is to form a nitride ion - N3-
The Nitride ion - sometimes called an azide.
nitride has a -3 charge
Nitrate ion is NO3-1 while Nitride is N-3.
No, the nitride ion has a 3- charge
A nitride contain the ion N3-, a sulphite contain the ion SO3-, a phosphate contain the ion (PO4)3-.
It is called a Nitride Ion
Formula = N3-
In an ionic compound the charges must balance out to zero. Since the nitride ion has a 3- charge and sodium forms a 1+ ion so in sodium nitride there are three sodium ions (Na+) fore every one nitride ion (N3-).
The chemical formula for a nitride ion is N-3.
N3- if you mean nitride ion
