Solid nitrogen

Moved to mainspace by Graeme Bartlett (talk). Nominated by EdChem (talk) at 11:53, 1 May 2016 (UTC).

  • Actually ALT1 is referenced as it is stated lower down in the crystal structure section for cg-N and referenced by "Structural transformation of molecular nitrogen to a single-bonded atomic state at high pressures". I put it in the lead because it is exciting. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:38, 1 May 2016 (UTC)
  • Thanks, I have added a cross-ref into the lede too. EdChem (talk) 12:42, 1 May 2016 (UTC)
  • However the hook ALT1 is not strictly matching what the article says, as there are other non-molecular forms of solid nitrogen predicted to exist of unspecified energy density. I think that ALT2 is a bit too obscure for the average reader, with several unfamiliar words in it. So how about varying ALT1 to ALT3: Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:49, 1 May 2016 (UTC)
  • ALT3:... that one non-molecular form of solid nitrogen has a higher energy density than any other non-nuclear material?
  • I have struck ALT1, deferring to the article's author on the accuracy of the alternative. I agree that ALT2 could be too obscure although I find it interesting. :) EdChem (talk) 12:54, 1 May 2016 (UTC) In light of recent additions, another option would be as follows.
