Question
The electronic configuration of N2 is 2, 5. How many electrons in the outer shell of a N atom are not involved in the formation of a nitrogen molecule?
Advertisements
Solution
Two electrons of a nitrogen atom are not involved in the formation of a nitrogen molecule since N2 contains triple bond formed by sharing of three electrons from each nitrogen atom.
