When two nitrogen atoms bond they share three pairs of valence electrons why does this happen?

Chemistry

Debora [2.8K]3 years ago

Well, you already know that Nitrogen is diatomic. Your question is, why do they have a triple bond. It's quite simply when you think about it, all diatomic molecules will share electrons in the perfect manner in order to fill their own octet. Nitrogen needs to fill it, and seeing that it only has 5 valence electrons, it needs a triple bond with another nitrogen in order to achieve it. 5+3 = 8 (full shell)

The boiling point of water is 1000C.
sergejj [24]

Answer:

a) The heat which we supply to water during boiling is used to overcome these forces of attraction between the particles so that they become totally free and change into a gas. This latent heat does not increase the kinetic energy of water particles and hence no rise in temperature takes place during the boiling of water.

b) Steam produces more severe burns than boiling water even though both are at 100oC because steam contains more heat, in the form of latent heat, than boiling water.
