How many bonds can an atom form if it has an atomic number of 7 (nitrogen)?
Nitrogen can form a maximum of three single covalent bonds, one with each of its three 2p electrons.
What is the maximum number of 1to1 compounds that can be formed from four different elements?
six (n-1)!
Why n exists as diatomic while p as p4?
Nitrogen is diatomic because it can form three covalent bonds between two nitrogen atoms; this is a function of the orbital structure and the number of electrons which allows the third covalent bond to form in the same direction. In contrast, phosphorus has many more electrons than nitrogen and is unable to form three covalent bonds with one other atom - the electron orbitals get in the way and mechanically/electrostatically prevent the third bond from forming. Therefore, pure elemental phosphorus must make sufficient bonds between several atoms rather than just between two.
What is the number of pairs of electrons that are shared between the nitrogen atoms in a molecule of N2?
Elemental nitrogen has 7 electrons.Thus, the first (or K) shell of electrons contains 2 of them (the maximum that the K shell can accommodate).The second (or L) shell of electrons contains the remaining 5, however, the maximum number of electrons that the L shell can accommodate is 8.Therefore, elemental nitrogen has three unpaired electrons that can be used to form covalent bonds.In ammonia (NH3) all three of those unpaired electrons are paired with hydrogen atoms.Leaving only a single unshared pair of electrons in the L shell.Technically, the pair of electrons in the K shell are also an "unshared" pair but they are unavailable for covalent activity so are generally not considered as such.
What is the atomic mass number for nitrogen?
The atomic weight is14.00674
How many covalent bonds are formed by fluorine?
maximum number of covalent bonds typically formed by fluorine is 1
How many bonds can an atom form if it has an atomic number of 7 (nitrogen)?
Nitrogen can form a maximum of three single covalent bonds, one with each of its three 2p electrons.
What determines the number of covalent bonds formed by an atom?
The number of unpaired electrons determines the number of covalent bonds that can be formed by an atom.
Number of covalent bonds in nitrogen?
Covalent bonds do not "make up" anything; they merely hold the atoms that carry the mass of the substance together. If the questioner means, "How many covalent bonds are in a nitrogen molecule with formula N2" the answer is "one triple covalent bond."
How many covalent bonds does nitrogen normally form?
Nitrogen can form 3 covalent bonds. Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons. If nitrogen is to remain neutral complete the following equation number of valence = number of non-bonding electrons + (1/2) bonded electrons 5 = 2 + (1/2) 6
How many number of covalent bonds can One atom of nitrogen with no net charge form?
3 covalent bonds (as in ammonia).
What is the number of electrons that form a single covalent bond?
A single covalent bond is formed by two electrons
What is the maximum number of covalent bonds an element with atomic number 15 can make with Hydrogen?
three
What is the maximum number of covalent bonds that Sulfur will form with another nonmetal element?
Sulphur has six valence electrons and hence it can form maximum of six covalent bonds as in SF6.
What is the maximum number of covalent bonds an element with atomic number 7 can make with an element with atomic number of 16?
It can make maximum 2 covalent bonds as element of atomic number 7 has 5 valence electrons while element having 16 atomic number have 6 valence electrons.
What is the maximum number of covalent bonds in a single carbon with 1 or more hydrogen atoms?
4
Number of bonds nitrogen can form?
3 in neutral molecules: e.g. 3 in ammonia (3 single N-H covalent bonds); 3 in a nitrogen molecule (a triple N-N covalent bond) However 2 electrons are not used in bonding, and these can form another covalent bond in which both electrons come from the nitrogen. This is a dative or coordinate covalent bond and will result in an ion e.g. ammonium ion, NH4+
