Hazard Predictions
- Generates heat: Exothermic reaction at ambient temperatures (releases heat)
- Intense or explosive reaction: Reaction may be particularly intense, violent, or explosive
Many nitrides are explosively unstable and may react violently with the extremely reactive alkali metals (Rich, G. A., 1993, Dangerous Chemical Reactions, Gulf Publishing Co., Houston, TX, p. 282).
