The correct name for this ionic compound is Ca3N2

Calcium (Ca) is an electropositive element of valency 2 that forms a cation by donating two electrons from its outermost orbit or valence shell. Nitrogen (N) is an anionic element of valency 3 that forms a nitride ion by accepting three extra electrons to complete its octet.

The correct name for this ionic compound must be written according to the rules of chemical formulas. The valency of the cation must be written first, then the valency of the anion must be written second.

This ionic compound contains the elements calcium and nitrogen, and is known as Ca3N2. It has a solid reddish brown crystalline solid appearance, and can be prepared by heating distilled fibrous metallic calcium to 450degC in a purified nitrogen stream. The nitrided calcium is then filtered and dried to a powder.

It is used in the production of reactive nitride ions and also for making calcium hydride.

This ionic compound is flammable, so it should be stored and transported safely. It should be stored in a dry, cool and sealed environment, protected from heavy pressure and transported as ordinary cargo. has over 12 years of experience in producing and supplying Ca3N2 powder, and we can help you find the best price for your projects or company.
