  2. Nitrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrate

    In the NO − 3 anion, the oxidation state of the central nitrogen atom is V (+5). This corresponds to the highest possible oxidation number of nitrogen. Nitrate is a potentially powerful oxidizer as evidenced by its explosive behaviour at high temperature when it is detonated in ammonium nitrate (NH 4 NO 3), or black powder, ignited by the shock wave of a primary explosive.

  3. Azide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azide

    In chemistry, azide (/ ˈ eɪ z aɪ d /, AY-zyd) is a linear, polyatomic anion with the formula N − 3 and structure − N=N + =N −. It is the conjugate base of hydrazoic acid HN 3. Organic azides are organic compounds with the formula RN 3, containing the azide functional group. [1] The dominant application of azides is as a propellant in ...

  4. Rubidium azide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubidium_azide

    Rb 2 SO 4 + Ba(N 3) 2 → 2 RbN 3 + BaSO 4. In at least one study, rubidium azide was produced by the reaction between butyl nitrite, hydrazine monohydrate, and rubidium hydroxide in the presence of ethanol: C 4 H 9 ONO + N 2 H 4 ·H 2 O + RbOH → RbN 3 + C 4 H 9 OH + 3 H 2 O. This formula is typically used to synthesize potassium azide from ...

    Many stoichiometric phases are usually present for most elements (e.g. MnN, Mn 6 N 5, Mn 3 N 2, Mn 2 N, Mn 4 N, and Mn x N for 9.2 < x < 25.3). They may be classified as "salt-like" (mostly ionic), covalent, "diamond-like", and metallic (or interstitial ), although this classification has limitations generally stemming from the continuity of ...

  6. Trinitrogen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinitrogen

    As a linear and symmetric molecule, it has D ∞h symmetry, with a nitrogen–nitrogen bond length averaging 1.8115 Å. The first excited electronic state, A 2 Σ u, is 4.56 eV above the ground state. [1] The cyclic form was identified in 2003 by N. Hansen and A. M. Wodtke using ultraviolet photolysis of chlorine azide. Although the reaction ...

  7. Nitrate nitrite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrate_nitrite

    A nitrate nitrite, or nitrite nitrate, is a coordination complex or other chemical compound that contains both nitrite (NO − 2) and nitrate (NO − 3) anions.They are mixed-anion compounds, and they are mixed-valence compounds.

  8. Nitrogen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen

    The 15 N: 14 N ratio is commonly used in stable isotope analysis in the fields of geochemistry, hydrology, paleoclimatology and paleoceanography, where it is called δ 15 N. [40] Of the thirteen other isotopes produced synthetically, ranging from 9 N to 23 N, 13 N has a half-life of ten minutes and the remaining isotopes have half-lives less ...

  9. Liquid nitrogen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_nitrogen

    The diatomic character of the N 2 molecule is retained after liquefaction. The weak van der Waals interaction between the N 2 molecules results in little interatomic attraction. This is the cause of nitrogen's unusually low boiling point. [1]
