Title: What, chemically, is nitrade?
Post by: Daniel Cole Jones on 16/11/2008 09:49:52

Daniel Cole Jones asked the Naked Scientists:

What does nitrade refer to as used with the -ade ending?  I've seen it with potassium ammonium nitrade & titanium carbon nitrade coatings, as in metals.

Can you give me a clue so I can research this further into possible compounds found with nitrade?

Thanks!!!

What do you think?

I think it's a typo, The potassium and ammonium compounds are probably meant to be nitrates and the coatings are titanium nitride.
