CHEMISTRY HELP PLEASE!! 15 POINTS!
The three lines in this Lewis dot structure represent the...

A) three valence electrons of dinitrous oxide.
B) six electrons in the triple bond of diatomic nitrogen.
C) three electrons joining two nitrogen atoms in a diatomic molecule.
D) three double bonds between the valence electrons of diatomic nitrogen.

Answer 1

Answer:

(B)

Explanation:

six electron intriple bond of diatomic nitrogen.

Answer 2

Answer:

Three electrons joining two nitrogen atoms in a diatomic molecule.

Explanation:

• An example of this is a triple bond. Every bond consists of a pair of electrons, one from each N atom connected. Therefore, the triple bond, which consists of three parallel lines, stands for a total of 6 electrons. Six additional electrons in the N2 triple bond are represented by the two dots, three sticks, and three lines that encircle each N.
• Using its chemical symbol, the Lewis structure identifies the atom and its location within the molecular model. Additionally, it defines the atoms' chemical connections inside the molecule.
• The structure primarily shows how an element's valence shell electrons are arranged. A valence electron is an electron that is positioned in the atom's outermost shell.
