What is the formula for the compound formed by Al3+ and N3- ?





Sagot :

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf AlN}}[/tex]

Explanation:

The goal when forming compounds is to achieve a net charge of 0.

We are given aluminum with a charge of 3+  and nitrogen with a charge of 3-.

These charges are equal and opposite, so one of each will equal 0.

  • 3+ (Al) + 3- (N) = 0

Therefore, we do not need any subscripts. List the metal's symbol (aluminum) then the nonmetal.

  • AlN

Th formula for the compound, which is aluminum nitride, is AlN.
