MCQ
The nitride ion in lithium nitride is composed of
  • A
    $7P + 7e$
  • B
    $10P + 7e$
  • $7P + 10e$
  • D
    $10P + 10e$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$7P + 10e$
c
Lithium nitride is $Li _3 N$. Here, nitride ion is $N$ with $-3$ charge. Since atomic no. of nitrogen is $7$ .

So, the number of protons is $7$ and number of electrons will be $7+3=10$.
