Answer:
Yes, the formed product is calcium nitride, [tex]Ca_3N_2[/tex].
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, the answer is yes, since nitrogen in gaseous state is able to react with calcium in solid state to form calcium nitride as shown below:
[tex]N_2+Ca\rightarrow Ca_3N_2[/tex]
This is possible since calcium losses two electrons and nitrogen gains three electrons to remain positively and negatively charged respectively, forming the aforementioned ionic compound.
Best regards.
