Explain the difference between 2N and N2.
1. 2N means two atoms of nitrogen.
N2 means two atoms of nitrogen in one molecule.
2. N2 shows that two nitrogen are bonded with a covalent bond, and it becomes nitrogen gas whereas 2N does not show any bond, it just shows two number of nitrogen.
3. N2 is a stable molecule, while 2N is nascent nitrogen with no stability.
