Nitrogen molecule is highly stable because of the presence of triple bonds between diatomic nitrogen molecule (N₂).
- Electronic configuration of one nitrogen atom 1s²2s²2p³.
- Shell K requires 2 electrons, shell L requires 8 electrons, and so on.
- To make N₂, a stable molecule, 3 electrons must be shared to complete the valency of each nitrogen molecule.
- This resulted in the N≡N triple bond which is highly stable at normal room temperature.
- It requires the highest amount of energy to break this triple bond.
