In this theymay be exploded by a long rod with theextremity dipped in oil. References. Davy in Phil. Trans. 1813, and notices of the same inAnn. of Phil. i. G3, 71. ii. 150.

A dark coloured powder, which explodes spontaneouslywhen dry, and with a slight degree of heat when moist; emits heatand light during the explosion, and iodine and nitrogen are set free; isreadily decomposed by the alkalies; and according to the experimentsof M. Colin, it consists of three atoms of iodine and one atom of nitro-gen. 144 NITROGEN. Preparation. Iodine and nitrogen cannot be made to combine tlirectly, but combination takes place when the nitrogen, in a nascentstate, is brought into contact with iodine. This compound may be ob-tained by putting iodine into a solution of ammonia at ordinary tem-peratures. A portion, of the ammonia is so
