When an atom undergoes alpha decay

Chemistry

Are you asking for a specific atom or just the general definition?

The general definition of alpha decay is the loss of two protons and two neutrons from a nucleus. (Also equal to a helium atom!) This decreases the total mass number by 4 and the atomic number by 2.

What type of compound is fe3n2
Shkiper50 [21]

Fe3N2, also known as Iron (II) nitride, is an ionic compound.


Ionic compounds are compounds that consists of metals and non-metals bonded with ionic bonds. The metal ion gives up electron(s) to the non-metals.


Since iron is a metal and nitrogen is an non-metal, the bond they would form would be an ionic bond. Iron gives up 2 electrons to form iron(II) ion, while nitrogen gains 3 electrons to form nitride ion. Since one iron cannot let a nitrogen gain 3 electrons, so in the compound, there would be 3 iron (ii) ions that has given up 6 electrons in total while 2 nitride ions have gained 6 electrons in total.
