Question

name the ionic species formed from: magnesium & nitrogen
magnesium nitride
nitrogen magneside
nitromagnesiumide
magnesium nitrogen

Explanation:

When naming ionic compounds, the metal (magnesium) is named first, followed by the non - metal (nitrogen). The non - metal's name is modified to end with “-ide”. Magnesium is the metal and nitrogen is the non - metal. So, the compound formed is magnesium nitride.

Answer:

magnesium nitride
