Show the covalent bond formation in oxygen molecule, nitrogen molecule and methane molecule.
Answers
Answer:
The bonds between nitrogen and oxygen are covalent bonds made from sharing electron pairs.
mark me as brainliest.......
plzzzzzzz
hope u like my answer..
Formation of oxygen molecule, O2: Oxygen atom has six electrons in its outermost shell, two short of forming a complete octet. Thus each oxygen atom in O2 shares 2 electrons with the other oxygen atom and attains stable configuration.
Electron configuration of N:2,5
Each N atom contributes 3 electrons for sharing.
A triple bond is formed between the two nitrogen atoms.
It required high enthalpy of formation.
Methane is a compound containing two elements, carbon and hydrogen. It exists naturally as a molecule. Each methane molecule has a central carbon atom joined to and surrounded by four hydrogen atoms. The chemical formula of methane is CH₄.The shape of methane is tetrahedral. It is sp3
hybridised. The carbon atom is at the centre of a tetrahedron. Each hydrogen is at one of the corners of the tetrahedron.
