Elemental nitrogen does not exist as individual atoms. If it did, it would be an atom surrounded by 5 valence electrons. Instead, nitrogen exists as a diatomic molecule. The nitrogens in the molecule are joined by a triple bond and each has one lone pair of electrons.

The Lewis structure of the covalent compound that contains one nitrogen atom one hydrogen atom and one carbon atom is H-C---N with two dots over N; H one bond to C triple bond to N.
Is nitrogen an neutral atom or an ion?
Neutral atom. An atom of nitrogen will also be an isotope of nitrogen.
In the best Lewis structure for the fulminate ion cno- what is the formal charge on the central nitrogen atom?
+1
Which best describe the molecular geometry of nitrate ion?
It is a trigonal planar structure - the nitrogen atom in the center.
How many electrons in an atom of nitrogen?
A nitrogen atom has seven electrons.
How is a nitrogen atom different from a nitrogen molecule?
A single nitrogen atom can be chemically reactive while a nitrogen molecule is relatively stable and tends to be faf more inert. A nitrogen molecule also has twice the mass of a nitrogen atom.
How big is a nitrogen atom?
The covalent radius of nitrogen atom is 71 pm.
What carbon atom forms a covalent bond with nitrogen?
Any carbon atom can form a covalent bond with nitrogen. In hydrogen cyanide, HCN, the carbon atom forms a triple covalent bond with the nitrogen atom. In amino acids, the carbon atom forms a single bond with a nitrogen atom.
Why is nitrogen an atom?
Nitrogen is an element, therefore it is an atom because elements are all atoms.
Write the VSEPR formula for the nitrogen atom as the central atom in glycine?
The VSEPR formula for the nitrogen atom as the central atom in glycine is Ax3e.
Which atom is larger nitrogen or carbon?
NITROGEN
