Q: Silicon and germanium react with nitrogen at high temperature to form what?


Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers:

The cavities normally contain hydrated cations that are loosely bound to the oxygen atoms of the negatively charged framework by electrostatic interactions. The sizes and arrangements of the channels and cavities differ in different types of zeolites. For example, in zeolite A the aluminosilicate cages are arranged in a cubic fashion, and the channels connecting the cavities intersect at right angles. In contrast, the cavities in faujasite are much larger, and the channels intersect at 120° angles. In these idealized models, the oxygen atoms that connect each pair of silicon atoms have been omitted. Silicon and germanium react with nitrogen at high temperature to form nitrides(M3N4): Equation 22.26.

 Choices:

- oxides

- carbonates

- isotopes

- nitrides


A:
nitrides
