Since N2 is a covalent bond, the lewis dot structure of  N2 would have a triple bond. Each bond contains 2 electrons, so if it has a triple bond it contains 6 electrons. 
Calculate the number of valence electrons of N2
N= 2x 5 = 10 
N2 has a total of 10 valence electrons, to become stable each N atom needs 8 electrons. 
So, therefore, 6 electrons would have to be a part of covalent bonds because they share 6 electrons in a triple bond.

D. 6 electrons

A single nitrogen atom has five electrons in its outer energy level to start, and will be most stable with an octet, or 8 electrons in its outer level.

A chemist heats a gas within a sealed, rigid container. Which statement describes the changes that occur in the gas? (1 point)
Assoli18 [71]

When a gas is heated in a sealed container, the gas particles move faster and hit the sides of the container with more force leading to an increase in the pressure of the gas.

An increase in the temperature of a gas increases the collision rate of the molecules of the gas according to the kinetic theory.

With increased kinetic energy, the molecules of the gases collide more frequently with each other and the walls of the container.

The collision creates an increase in the magnitude of pressure inside the container.

If the oxidation state of H is +1 and O is -2, what is the oxidation state of C in C2H4O?
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

-1

Explanation:

According to this question, the oxidation state/number of H and O in C2H4O is +1 and -2 respectively.

The oxidation state of carbon in the compound can be calculated thus:

Where;

x represents the oxidation number of C

C2H4O = 0 (net charge)

x(2) + 1(4) - 2 = 0

2x + 4 - 2 = 0

2x + 2 = 0

2x = -2

Divide both sides by 2

x = -1

The oxidation number of C in C2H4O is -1.
