How many valence electrons are transferred from nitrogen atom to potassium in the formation of the compound potassium nitride?

2 answers:

8 0

Answer:
3 electrons are gained by one nitrogen atom in the formation of K₃N.

Explanation:

The reaction is as follow,

 6 K + N₂ → 2 K₃N

Oxidation of K,

 K → K⁺ + 1 e⁻
Or,
6 K → 6 K⁺ + 6 e⁻

In oxidation reaction potassium atom transfers one electron per atomn and six electrons per six atoms.

Reduction of N;
N₂ + 6 e⁻ → 2 N³⁻

In reduction reaction one molecule of N₂ gains six electrons and 3 electrons per one atom
