Decomposed upon heating to nitrites and evolve O{_{2}}

- wherein

2NaNO{_{3}\overset{\Delta }{\rightarrow}2NaNO{_{2}}+O{_{2}}

 

 

Nitride of Li and Mg -

Both for nitride Li{_{3}}N, Mg{_{3}}N{_{2}} by direct combination with nitrogen

- wherein

Other alkali metals combine at high temperature

Only Li react with N2 from all alkali metals 

Rxn\rightarrow 6Li+N_{2}\rightarrow 2Li_{3}N
