it is the empirical formula for 72% magnesium and 28% nitrogen. the formula for magnesium nitride on the other hand is Mg3N2
The compound with the formula Mg2N3 is called magnesium nitride. It consists of magnesium ions (Mg²⁺) and nitride ions (N³⁻) in a 2:3 ratio, resulting in a neutral compound. Magnesium nitride is often used in various industrial applications, including as a catalyst and in the production of certain ceramics.
Yes, aluminum is more electronegative than magnesium thus, resulting in a single displacement reaction. The products would be magnesium + aluminumnitrate
