Question

what is the number of electrons shared between the atoms in a molecule of nitrogen, N2

Answer 1

Answer:

3 electrons is contributed from each Nitrogen atom.

Total 6 electrons are shared in N₂.

Explanation:

• Nitrogen is belong to group VA
• it have 5 electron in its outer most Shell.
• it need 3 electrons complete its octet to become stable.
• Nitrogen have total 7 electrons.
• its atomic number is 7

The electronic configuration of Nitrogen is as:

1s², 2s², 2p³

it exist in diatomic form standard temperature and pressure.

Nitrogen form covalent bond and share 3 electron from each side.

total 6 electron are shared between 2 nitrogen atom.

For Covalent bonding it can share its 3 electrons.
