QuestionWhat is the name of the compound formed by Calcium and Nitrogen?

Studdy Solution
The name of the compound is derived from the names of the ions. The name of the metal (Calcium) is written first, followed by the name of the nonmetal (Nitrogen) with the ending changed to "-ide".
$$Calcium\, Nitride$$So, the correct name for a compound made of Calcium and Nitrogen is Calcium Nitride.
