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.
The formula for the nitride ion is N3-.
One potassium ion is required to neutralize a nitride ion, as the nitride ion has a charge of -3 and the potassium ion has a charge of +1.
Nitride Ion.
The ion for nitride is N3-. It consists of a nitrogen atom with a charge of -3.
When a nitrogen atom gains an electron, it becomes a nitride ion (N^{3-}) with a (3-) charge.
The formula for the nitride ion is N3-.
One potassium ion is required to neutralize a nitride ion, as the nitride ion has a charge of -3 and the potassium ion has a charge of +1.
Nitride Ion.
The correct name for the N3- ion is nitride ion. It is a negatively charged ion with a -3 charge that is formed by gaining three electrons.
No, the nitride ion has a 3- charge
The ion for nitride is N3-. It consists of a nitrogen atom with a charge of -3.
The formula unit of sodium nitride is Na3N. It consists of one sodium ion (Na+) and one nitride ion (N3-).
When a nitrogen atom gains an electron, it becomes a nitride ion (N^{3-}) with a (3-) charge.
A nitride contain the ion N3-, a sulphite contain the ion SO3-, a phosphate contain the ion (PO4)3-.
Nitride ion has a charge of -3. This is because nitrogen, the element that forms the nitride ion, has 5 valence electrons and gains 3 electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, resulting in a total of 8 electrons and a charge of -3.
Azide, N3- ( a linear ion isoelectronic with CO2), or conceivably nitride N3- a monoatomic ion
Yes, they react to produce ammonia and magnesium oxide. Mg3N2 + 3H2O --> 3 MgO + 2NH3
