Cr2O3N2, also known as Dicromium Oxide Nitrite or Chromium(III) Oxide Nitride in English, is a synthetic chemical compound. In this formula, “Cr” stands for Chromium, “O” is Oxygen, and “N” is Nitrogen. Each Chromium atom has an atomic mass of 52, “O” is 16 and “N” is 14. When combined, they form a molecule with an atomic mass of 216.
Cr2O3N2 has a complex ionic structure with 2 Cr3+ ions, 3 O2- ions and 2 N3- ions. The distribution of atoms in the molecule determines the structure of Cr2O3N2.
In terms of physical properties, Cr2O3N2 typically appears as a dark green powder, odorless and has a neutral PH. The chemical properties of Cr2O3N2 have not been fully studied, however, it is known to be heat resistant.
The common chemical reactions of Cr2O3N2 mainly involve the process of forming this compound from Chromium, Oxygen and Nitrogen. Specifically, Chromium, when reacting with Oxygen and Nitrogen under high temperature conditions, forms Cr2O3N2.
The preparation of Cr2O3N2 requires high temperature conditions and suitable catalysts. In the laboratory, Cr2O3N2 is usually prepared from Chromium by reacting with Oxygen and Nitrogen under high temperature conditions. In industry, Cr2O3N2 is often produced through the process of nitrogenation of Chromium at high temperatures.
