Question

What would be the electron dot structure of a molecule of nitrogen which is made up of 2 atoms of nitrogen?

Answer 1

$\huge{\underline{\overline{\star{\sf{\red{ANSWER}{\star}}}}}}$

Nitrogen has 5 electrons in its outermost shell so, to achieve the 8- electron structure of an inert gas, it needs 3 more electrons and hence combines with another nitrogen atom to form a molecule of nitrogen gas.

This type of bonding is called covalent bonding.
