Nitrogen molecules in solid nitrogen would vibrate about fixed positions close together in the regular lattice and have weak intermolecular forces holding the molecules together. However, in nitrogen gas the nitrogen molecules would be traveling in random directions at high speed and far apart.
<h3>There's no way for C8H8 to exist without double bonds. To fulfill the rule of the octet, four bonds must be formed by each carbon. This can only be done in C8H8 through the formation of double bonds.</h3>
