Question

PLEASE HELP: iron reacts with nitrogen to form iron(III) nitride

Answer 1

Answer:

$2Fe +N_{2} -> 2FeN$

Explanation:

Iron is Fe, nitrogen is N. Nitrogen is diatomic, which means it occurs as a molecular pair by itself. Iron III nitride has a chemical formula of FeN because nitrogen has a charge of 3-, and iron III tells us the iron has a charge of 3+ so you just need one of each to make the charges balance and the compound neutral.
