Question

The electronic configuration of nitrogen is 2,5. How many electrons in outer shell of nitrogen atom are not involved in the formation of nitrogen molecule​

Answer 1

Explanation:

2 electrons in outermost shell of nitrogen don't participate in formation of nitrogen molecule.

Answer 2

For the formation of Nitrogen molecule, 1 atom of nitrogen needs 3 electrons, therefore 3 electrons will participate in sharing of electrons to form N 2 ,i.e., Nitrogen molecule.

Therefore 2 electrons of the outermost shell will not involve in the making of Nitrogen molecule.
