it is easier for them to have an octet of electrons(8e)
Each ion will:
obtain the noble gas structure
each atom has high ionization energy

What do Nitrogen and oxygen form?
Nitrogen oxide can refer to a binary compound of oxygen and nitrogen, or a mixture of such compounds.
Is table salt an example of a binary ionic compound.?
It is. It contains just the two elements, sodium and chlorine. The sodium forms positive ions, and the chlorides are negative.
What is the formula of lithium and nitrogen?
for lithium are LiH,LiF LiCl,LiBr and LiI and but for nitrogen are BN,AlN and GaN , but binary ionic compounds of nitrogen are unstable.
What is the suffix of binary compounds?
Binary compounds generally end i with the suffix -ide.
What is the binary compound of potassium and nitrogen?
K3n
What are two compounds that are formed when nitrogen combine with oxygen?
Nitrogen oxide can refer to a binary compound of oxygen and nitrogen, or a mixture of such compounds.
What do Nitrogen and oxygen form?

What element forms 5 different binary compounds with oxygen?
nitrogen

Why do nitrogen and oxygen produces negative ions instead of positive ions in binary compounds?
The molecular structure of oxygen and nitrogen dictates it's molecular charged, that is, it has to satisfy the octet rule. For instance, if you take a look at the atomic structure of oxygen and atom, they both have a few missing electrons that can't satisfy the octet rule, thus negatively charged ions have no other ions to bond (when coupled with another element), either double or single to coupe with other binary compounds. This essential makes them likely to be negatively charged.
What is the formula of lithium and nitrogen?
for lithium are LiH,LiF LiCl,LiBr and LiI and but for nitrogen are BN,AlN and GaN , but binary ionic compounds of nitrogen are unstable.
What encoding uses positive and negative voltages to represent binary one and zero?
Bipolar
What does a N in front of a chemical name reference?
Im guessing you mean the name of the chemical with the letter N. Well it is nitrogen. Nitrogen oxide can refer to a binary compound of oxygen and nitrogen, or a mixture of such compounds: Nitric oxide (NO), nitrogen(II) oxide
How are the anions in all types of binary compounds similar?
Umm yea your pretty dumb...the answer is they all have negative charges.
What is binary cord?
Wire carrying negative and positive charges in a closed circuit. It doesnt have earth.
Binary ionic compounds are called salts?
yes, but not all salts are binary ionic compounds
What is the suffix of binary compounds?
Binary compounds generally end i with the suffix -ide.
