Answer:
B. Lithium (Li)
Explanation:
Lithium forms an ionic compound with nitrogen with the general formula X₃N. When lithium and nitrogen react, they form a nitride called lithium nitride.
The Lithium nitride is actually prepared by the direct combination of elemental lithium with nitrogen gas. Below is the reaction equation:
6Li + N₂ → 2Li₃N
The reaction can occur when a solution of lithium in liquid sodium metal is treated with N₂. When the Lithium nitride reacts with water, it does that violently and produces ammonia.
