Question

The multiple bonds that nitrogen forms with itself are:

• A. $d\pi -d\pi$ bonds
• B. $d\pi -p\pi$ bonds
• C. $p\pi -p\pi$ bonds
• D. none of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C $p\pi -p\pi$ bonds

When bonding occurs between elements having their valence electron and vacant place in $p$ orbital then its called $p\pi -p\pi$bonding. The nitrogen atom has valence electron in $p$ orbital so with itself form $p\pi -p\pi$ bonds.
