Although the electron gain enthalpy of `N(2s^2 2p63)` is positive, the `N^(3-)` ion `(2s^2 2p^6)` is stable in the presence of certain positive ions such asA. `Na`B. `Li`C. `K`D. `Rb`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`Li^(+)`, on account of high charge density leads to the formation of lithium nitide, `Li_3N`. Allkaline earth metals also form nitrides on account of high lattice enthalpy.
