Most atoms do not. For those atoms that do not have a full valence shell (which usually would contain eight electrons, except for hydrogen and helium, where it would contain two), something has to change. So nature's tendency toward a full valence shell will lead to one of two things: The gain or loss of electrons.

Here is the link to a great video that explains your question nicely, hope this helps.
3Si + 2N2 --> Si3N4 (as given)
n(Si) = m/MM = 38.25/28.085 = 1.3619 mol
n(N2) = 14.33/2*14.007 = 0.5115 mol
Therefore, N2 is limiting and Si is in excess
The molar ratio of 2N2:Si3N4 is 2:1
So, 0.0575 mol of silicon nitride is formed (dividing 0.5115 by 2)
m of silicon nitride= n*mm = 0.0575*140.283 = 8.06627... g
= 8.066g (4 significant figures)
(hopefully it is right, but double check in case i did something wrong) :)
D: they have new dna combinations
Answer:
ELEMENTS MIXTURE
Elements are made up of one kind of atoms. Mixtures are made up of two or more kinds of Compounds .
Elements cannot be broken down into simpler substances by any physical or chemical method. The various constituents are seperated by simple physical means
