When two nitrogen atoms bond together in n2, what type of
covalent bond do they form?

a) a double bond, because they overlap orbitals to share two electrons.

b) a double bond, because they overlap orbitals to share two pairs of
electrons.

c) a triple bond, because they overlap orbitals to share three electrons.

d) a triple bond, because they overlap orbitals to share three pairs of
electrons.

will vote !

The correct answer is D). See the explanation below, please.

Explanation:

The nitrogen atom requires 3 electrons to complete its octet, which can form a triple bond with another nitrogen atom (they form a covalent bond of the apolar type, where you share 3 pairs of electrons and both elements have equal electronegativity)

Option( D)

A triple bond, because they overlap orbitals to share three pair of electrons

Explanation:

Nitrogen as we know have 5 valence electrons (atomic number=7), hence to make a  noble gas with stable configuration we have provide it with 3 electrons. Furthermore, a covalent bond is formed when two similar atoms of non metals combine with each other to sustain into a molecule hence a total of 3 electrons are shared from each of the nitrogen atom making it chemically stable.

Since nitrogen atom combines with other nitrogen atom sharing 3 electrons each from the atom thus a triple covalent bond formed by the overlapping of electrons.

for step 7 table c on the lab "newtons law of action"   the average time it took the car to travel .25 meters   was 1.92 seconds.

the average time it took the car to travel 0.50 meters was 2.61 seconds

hope this : )
