Trouble with writing equations.........

so you have N2+H2--->NH3

but if i were to write it I would say N2+H2--->N2H2

how do i write chemical equations?

Uh first you have to balance it.

And make sure you have states.

N2 (g) + H2 (g) ------------> NH3 (g)           We know that as ammonia.

Now you balance it.

Place a 3 infront of the H2
Place a 2 infront of the NH3

Done.

I'm pretty sure, its covalent bonding. And my unit 1/2 is quite rusty but It will be NH3 because, then you'd have 8 electrons for Nitrogen which will allow the molecule to be stable?
About Philosophy

When I see a youth thus engaged,—the study appears to me to be in character, and becoming a man of liberal education, and him who neglects philosophy I regard as an inferior man, who will never aspire to anything great or noble. But if I see him continuing the study in later life, and not leaving off, I should like to beat him - Callicle

Yeah i think it's this, the covalent bonding.
