Nitrogen, N2, has a triple bond between smalleratoms (period 2) than chlorine, Cl2, has.

What bonds does calcium and chlorine have in common with hydrogen and nitrogen?
They do not have any bonds in common. Calcium and chlorine atoms form an ionic bond and hydrogen and nitrogen form a polar covalent bond.
Give the name of compound in which Chlorine forms hydrogen bond?
Chlorine cannot form a hydrogen bond only Nitrogen, Oxygen, and Flourine can
What is the Bond Length between Nitrogen and Oxygen in a covalent bond?
Covalent bond
What bond is formed with Nitrogen and chlorine?
Covalent. Nonpolar covalent. Nitrogen and chlorine have very similar electronegativities. Therefore the electron will be shared equally between them and the bond will be nonpolar covalent. The larger the difference between the electronegativities the more polar the bond.
Why chlorine is not included to make hydrogen bond?
As fluorine, oxygen and nitrogen do, the bond polarity in a -H-Cl bond is not adequate to form hydrogen bonds.
What type of bond forms between nitrogen and chlorine?
Covalent bond.
Why chlorine does not form hydrogen bond whereas nitrogen does?
large size of chlorine as compared to nitrogen because of increased principl quantum number. There is no bond formation.
How do you find the lengths of nitrogen-to-nitrogen bond?
The length of nitrogen-to-nitrogen bond is approx. 100 pm.
What is the trend between bond length and bond strength?
The shorter the length the stronger the bond.
Why chlorine does not readily combine with nitrogen gas?
A Nitrogen molecule(N2) has a triple bond between it Nitrogen will only react only if the bond is broken. And since Chlorine cannot break this triple bond, under normal conditions, it does not react with nitrogen readily.

What bond length accounts for stronger bonds?
Shorter bond lengths. N2 is very strong with its triple bond.
Why chlorine is not included to make hydrogen bond?
As fluorine, oxygen and nitrogen do, the bond polarity in a -H-Cl bond is not adequate to form hydrogen bonds.
Why the chlorine does not form hydrogen bond as the nitrogen do in spite the chlorine is more electronegative than nitrogen?
Size of Cl atom is bigger than size of N atom. Electronegativity difference is .12 which is negligible.
