Question

In which of the following maximum number of electrons involved in sharing between two atoms
(A) Cl,
(B) N2
(C) H20
(D) NH3​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The following maximum number of electrons involved in sharing between rwo atoms is D) NH3

Answer 2

In N₂ and NH₃ maximum number of electrons is involved in sharing between two atoms.

• In case of Cl, there is no sharing as there is no other atom.

• In case of H₂O, a total of 4 electrons sharing takes place as total valence electron of Oxygen is 8 and total valence electron of Hydrogen is 1.

• In case of N₂, a total of 6 electrons sharing takes place. as total valence electron of Nitrogen is 5 and to complete the octet 3 electrons of each Nitrogen atom is shared.

• In case of NH₃, a total of 6 electrons sharing takes place. as total valence electron of Nitrogen is 5 and total valence electron of Hydrogen is 1.

So, options B and D are Both Correct.
