What if it's Li(sub)3 N
would it be....
trilithium nitride? no?
Lithium nitride?

Is there a website on rules for naming compounds?
Answered by DrBob222
I think either would be correct. I call it lithium nitride. Since lithium has ONLY the +1 oxidation state, it isn't necessary to denote that (as in lithium(I) nitride) and I don't think it's necessary to say trilithium for the same reason.
