Solution

The correct option is C 6
Nitrogen does not exist in nacent form due to incomplete outermost octet. A triple bond is formed, when two atoms share 3 pairs of electrons (6 electrons) between them. In a nitrogen molecule there is a tripple bond between two nitrogen atoms as they share three pairs of electrons.
