Question

With the help of MO theory, explain the formation of N2​

Answer 1

Answer:

The electronic configuration of 'N' atom is 2, 5 and to have Octet in the valence shell it requires three more electrons. When two nitrogen atoms approach each other, each atom contributes 3 electrons for bonding. ... Therefore, there is a triple bond between two nitrogen atoms in $N _{ 2 }$ molecules.
