Nitrate and Nitrite Compounds, Inorganic
There are 62 chemical datasheets assigned to this reactive group.
Reactive groups are categories of chemicals that typically react in similar ways because they are similar in their chemical structure. Each substance with a chemical datasheet has been assigned to one or more reactive groups, and CAMEO Chemicals uses the reactive group assignments to make its reactivity predictions.

If you can't find a chemical in the database--but you know what reactive group it belongs in--you can add the reactive group to MyChemicals instead in order to see the reactivity predictions.
In general, nitrate and nitrite salts with redox-active cations are more reactive with organic materials and reducing agents at ambient conditions. Redox-active cations are transition metals and the metals in group 3a, 4a, and 5a of the periodic table as well as the ammonium cation [NH4]+. In general, nitrate and nitrite salts with non-redox active cations (also called spectator cations) are less reactive at ambient conditions. These include the alkali metals and alkaline earth salts.
Because of the wide range of reactivity with these salts, this tool will be conservative and generally predict a high hazard with other materials, especially organics. However, in many cases, as explained above, some mixtures may be perfectly benign. Consequently, inadvertent mixtures with inorganic nitrate or nitrite salts need to be vetted carefully on an individual basis. Caution should be used before proceeding. Further research of comparable examples in the literature or very small scale, carefully controlled experiments may be needed to fully assess compatibility.
