Step 1: Convert the given problem into a word equation
Magnesium reacts with Nitrogen gas to produce Magnesium nitride. Write and balance chemical equation.
This seems interesting. But I only know the first step. Hope somebody finishes what I started
Magnesium reacts with Nitrogen gas to produce Magnesium nitride. Write and balance chemical equation.

Ohhh! An unfinished chemical equation. I'm gonna test my inner scientist abilities
Mg(s) + N2(g) Mg3N2(s)
Magnesium + Nitrogen gas Magnesium Nitride
Step 2: Convert the word equation into a chemical equation. Note: Lookout for diatomic substances like nitrogen
Magnesium reacts with Nitrogen gas to produce Magnesium nitride. Write and balance chemical equation.
****************
Am I obliged to continue this? Arghhh why am I in STEM!
3Mg(s) + N2(g) Mg3N2(s)
Mg(s) + N2(g) Mg3N2(s)
Magnesium + Nitrogen gas Magnesium Nitride
Step 3: Balance the chemical equation by adding coefficients on both sides so that both sides have the same number of atoms.This satisfy the law of conservation of matter
