Question

what is the name of this compound? nh3 nitrogen trihydride nitrogen hydrogen not a compound nitrogen hydride

Explanation:

The compound NH3 consists of one nitrogen atom and three hydrogen atoms. In chemical nomenclature, when a binary compound (compound with two elements) has hydrogen and another non - metal, it is named as a hydride of that non - metal. Here, the non - metal is nitrogen, so it is named nitrogen hydride. Also, the prefix "tri - " in nitrogen trihydride indicates three hydrogen atoms, which is consistent with the formula NH3.

Answer:

nitrogen hydride, nitrogen trihydride
