  • Lead(II) Nitride (Pb₃N₂): Formula, Properties, and Explanation
    The compound containing only nitrogen and lead is lead(II) nitride.

    Here's the breakdown:

    * Lead(II) indicates the lead ion has a +2 charge (Pb²⁺).

    * Nitride refers to the nitrogen ion with a -3 charge (N³⁻).

    To balance the charges, we need three lead ions (3 x +2 = +6) and two nitride ions (2 x -3 = -6).

    Therefore, the chemical formula for lead(II) nitride is Pb₃N₂.
