Question
Which metal is present in chlorophyll? How does this metal react with $\text{N}_2$?
✓
Answer
Mg is present in chlorophyll. Mg reacts with $\text{N}_2$ to form magnesium nitride.
$3\text{Mg}+\text{N}_2\xrightarrow{\ \ \\ \ \ }\text{Mg}_3\text{N}_2\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ ^\text{(Magnesium nitride)}$
$3\text{Mg}+\text{N}_2\xrightarrow{\ \ \\ \ \ }\text{Mg}_3\text{N}_2\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ ^\text{(Magnesium nitride)}$
