Reactivity towards Metals Chemistry Notes

Reactivity towards Metals :

All the elements of nitrogen family have tendency to form binary compounds with metals. In these binary compounds they exhibit (+1 -3) oxidation state. Examples

• Calcium nitrides – Ca₃ N₂
• Calcium phosphide – Ca₃P₂
• Calcium Arsenide – Ca₃ As₂
• Sodium Arsenide – Na₃ As
• Zinc Antimonide – Zn₃Sb₂
• Magnesium bismuthide – Mg₃ Bi₂
