Question for the chemists our there...

[GasX]

My google-fu is failing me and I can't ascertain the proper name of N30.

Anyone know?

NO = Nitric Oxide
N20 = Nitrous Oxide
N30 = ??

 

[Joemonkey]

It is the element that makes astroempires warp gates possible, c'mon now

 

[Crono]

I don't think that's a possible stable molecule.

 

[Joemonkey]

are you saying N3O or N30 ?

There is mention of it here

http://www.kvac.uu.se/Lowdin/2009-Bartlett.html

and here

http://www.chem.iitb.ac.in/~ravikanth/research.html

some type of porphyrin ?

 

[Crono]

trinitrogen monoxide would be the name, i guess, but it doesn't exist in nature. I'm not a chemical expert, though.

yeah, it clearly is not common and that is the only name I see it referenced by..

N3-O is a stable group, but it must have something else to bond to.
but itself is not a stable molecule.


perhaps you are thinking of
-NO
-NO2
-NO3

Yah it would be called trinitrogen monoxide. Those other names you listed are just the common names of those compounds. They can also be referred to as dinitrogen monoxide for nitrous oxide, etc.

 

[uclaLabrat]

Don't think it exists. The azide anion (N3) has a -1 charge overall, which would mean the oxygen would have to have an overall +1 charge to make it a neutral molecule. O+ sources exist, but I think N3O would break down damn quickly into N2 + NO.

Is that what they used to make the Trigens in Far Cry?

Why are you using a 0 and not an O?

That confused the hell out of me to. N30??

Lol, yea when I first read it I thought he was talking about some sort of crazy isotope of Nitrogen.
