alleryWhich is the bond pattern of nitrogen molecule N2?
ASingle bond
BIonic bond
CDouble bond
DTriple bond
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Triple bond
1. A nitrogen atom has five valence electrons and needs three more to complete its octet.
2. In N2 the two nitrogen atoms share three pairs of electrons.
3. Sharing three pairs gives a triple bond.
4. So N2 has a triple covalent bond.
5. The triple bond makes N2 very stable and unreactive at room temperature.
