Question

How many covalent bonds are present in Dinitrogen (${\mathrm{N}}_2$) molecule?

Answer 1

Covalent Bond in Dinitrogen(${\mathbf{N}}_{\mathbf{2}}$) molecule

1. Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons therefore needs three more electrons to complete its octet configuration.
2. Mutual sharing of three pair of electrons gives triple covalent bond.
3. Structure: $\mathrm{N}\equiv \mathrm{N}$ three bonds exist between Nitrogen atoms. Lewis Dot structure is shown as:

Therefore, Nitrogen exhibits three covalent bonds.
