Question

State the type of covalent bonding in the following molecules: (1) Chlorine (2)Nitrogen (3) Oxygen​

Answer 1

Answer:

A chlorine atom will share one electron with another chlorine atom to form chlorine molecule . This molecule has a single covalent bond due to sharing of 1 electron. II) Nitrogen molecule has three covalent bonds.

Answer 2

Answer:

I) Chlorine molecule shows single covalent bond.

State the type of covalent bonding in the following molecules: (1) Chlorine (2)Nitrogen (3) Oxygen

The chlorine atom has 7 electrons in it's valence shell and needs only one electron to complete it's octet i.e, 8 valence electrons.

A chlorine atom will share one electron with another chlorine atom to form chlorine molecule. This molecule has a single covalent bond due to sharing of 1 electron.

II) Nitrogen molecule has three covalent bonds.

The nitrogen atom has 5 electrons in it's valence shell and needs three electrons complete it's octet.

The nitrogen atom will share 3 electrons with another nitrogen atom to form a nitrogen molecule with three covalent bonds (triple bond).III) Oxygen molecule has two covalent

bonds.

Oxygen atom has 6 electrons in it's valence

shell and requires 2 electrons to fulfill it's

octet.

The oxygen atom will share two electrons

with another oxygen atom to form a Oxygen

molecule, which has two covalent bonds

(double bond ).
