  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. Pentazenium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentazenium

    According to both ab initio calculations and the experimental X-ray structure, the cation is planar, symmetric, and approximately V-shaped, with bond angles 111° at the central atom (angle N2N3–N4) and 168° at the second and fourth atoms (angles N1–N2N3 and N3–N4–N5). The bond lengths for N1–N2 and N4–N5 are 1.10 Å and the ...

  5. 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 ...

  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. Molar volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molar_volume

    l 3 n −1 In chemistry and related fields, the molar volume , symbol V m , [ 1 ] or V ~ {\displaystyle {\tilde {V}}} of a substance is the ratio of the volume ( V ) occupied by a substance to the amount of substance ( n ), usually at a given temperature and pressure .

  8. Amount of substance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amount_of_substance

    Historically, the mole was defined as the amount of substance in 12 grams of the carbon-12 isotope.As a consequence, the mass of one mole of a chemical compound, in grams, is numerically equal (for all practical purposes) to the mass of one molecule or formula unit of the compound, in daltons, and the molar mass of an isotope in grams per mole is approximately equal to the mass number ...
