Question

A diatomic molecule shares three pairs of electrons. What type of bond is present in the molecule? A single covalent bond because each atom requires one more electron to complete its octet. A single covalent bond because each atom requires six more electrons to complete its octet. A triple covalent bond because each atom requires three more electrons to complete its octet. A triple covalent bond because each atom requires six more electrons to complete its octet.

Answer 1

Answer:

A triple covalent bond because each atom requires three more electrons to complete its octet.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer;

A triple covalent bond because each atom requires three more electrons to complete its octet.

Explanation;

• A triple covalent bond is a covalent bond formed by atoms that share three pairs of electrons.
• For example; in a diatomic molecule such a nitrogen; A nitrogen atom has five valence electrons, which can be shown as one pair and three single electrons. When combining with another nitrogen atom to form a diatomic molecule, the three single electrons on each atom combine to form three shared pairs of electrons.
