question 44 (2 points)
give the formula for the compound formed between lithium and nitrogen
1
a. lin b. ln c. li₂n d. li₃n e. lin₃ f. li₃n₂
g. li₂n₃ h. li₃n₂ i. n₂li₃ j. nli₃ k. n₃li₂

Explanation:

Step1: Determine ion charges

Lithium (Li) is in group 1, so it forms a +1 ion ($Li^+$). Nitrogen (N) is in group 15 and forms a -3 ion ($N^{3 -}$).

Step2: Balance charges

To balance the charges in an ionic - compound, we need 3 lithium ions to balance the -3 charge of one nitrogen ion.

Answer:

D. $Li_3N$
