Ammonia is an inorganic chemical compound of nitrogen and hydrogen with the formula N H 3.A stable binary hydride and the simplest pnictogen hydride, ammonia is a colourless gas with a distinctive pungent smell.
Binary hydrogen compounds in group 1 are the ionic hydrides (also called saline hydrides) wherein hydrogen is bound electrostatically. Because hydrogen is located somewhat centrally in an electronegative sense, it is necessary for the counterion to be exceptionally electropositive for the hydride to possibly be accurately described as truly behaving ionic.
azane (or ammonia), NH 3 - one nitrogen and three hydrogen diazane (or hydrazine), N 2 H 4 - two nitrogen and four hydrogen triazane, N 3 H 5 - three nitrogen and five hydrogen. Azanes with three or more nitrogen atoms are named by adding the suffix-azane to the appropriate numerical multiplier prefix. Hence, triazane, N 3 H 5; tetrazane or ...
Protide, deuteride and tritide are used to describe ions or compounds that contain enriched hydrogen-1, deuterium or tritium, respectively. In the classic meaning, hydride refers to any compound hydrogen forms with other elements, ranging over groups 1–16 (the binary compounds of hydrogen).
Ammonium is a modified form of ammonia that has an extra hydrogen atom. It is a positively charged ( cationic ) molecular ion with the chemical formula NH + 4 or [NH 4 ] + . It is formed by the addition of a proton (a hydrogen nucleus) to ammonia ( NH 3 ).
Pnictogen hydrides or hydrogen pnictides are binary compounds of hydrogen with pnictogen (/ ˈ p n ɪ k t ə dʒ ə n / or / ˈ n ɪ k t ə dʒ ə n /; from Ancient Greek: πνῑ́γω "to choke" and -gen, "generator") atoms (elements of group 15: nitrogen, phosphorus, arsenic, antimony, bismuth, and moscovium) covalently bonded to hydrogen.
The formal list is used. The name of the most electronegative element is modified to end in -ide and the more electropositive elements name is left unchanged. Taking the binary compound of sodium and chlorine: chlorine is found first in the list so therefore comes last in the name. Other examples are PCl 5 phosphorus pentachloride
Homonuclear triatomic molecules contain three of the same kind of atom. That molecule will be an allotrope of that element. Ozone, O 3 is an example of a triatomic molecule with all atoms the same. Triatomic hydrogen, H 3, is unstable and breaks up spontaneously.
