  • Sodium Nitride: Is It a Binary or Ternary Compound? Explained
    No, sodium nitride is not a binary compound. Here's why:

    * Binary Compounds: These compounds consist of only two different elements.

    * Sodium Nitride (Na₃N): This compound contains three elements: sodium (Na), nitrogen (N), and oxygen (O). The formula Na₃N is incorrect; it should be Na₃N for sodium nitride.

    Therefore, sodium nitride is a ternary compound (containing three elements), not a binary compound.
