  • Nickel(II) Nitride Formula (Ni₃N₂): Definition & Explanation
    The chemical formula for nickel(II) nitride is Ni₃N₂.

    Here's how to determine it:

    * Nickel(II) means the nickel ion has a +2 charge (Ni²⁺).

    * Nitride refers to the nitrogen anion, which has a -3 charge (N³⁻).

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