What is the compound formed by the reaction of xenon with nitrogen?
Xenon nitrate
Xenon tetranitride
Xenon trioxide
Xenon difluoride
Xenon tetranitride is a compound formed by the reaction of xenon gas with nitrogen gas under extreme conditions of high pressure and high temperature. The reaction is highly exothermic and produces a solid compound. This compound is thermally stable and can be synthesized at temperatures above 700°C and pressures exceeding 50 atmospheres.
Xenon tetranitride is a powerful oxidizing agent and is used in rocket propellants because of its ability to release a large amount of energy upon decomposition. It is also used in the production of high-performance materials such as ceramics and composites.
