nitrogen atoms join up to form nitrogen molecules becoz their outermost shell is not stable. to be stable, they join up to form nitrogen molecues... ;)
it forms a triple bond
it forms a triple bond
Three hydrogen atoms are necessary to join with one nitrogen atom to form a stable compound, such as ammonia (NH3). This creates a stable molecule by sharing electrons.
Nitrogen and Oxygen being both nonmetals, they would form a covalent bond between the two.
A Molecule.

Atoms
When two nitrogen (N) atoms bond, they form one molecule of nitrogen (N2). At room temperature, nitrogen molecules form a gas. Nitrogen gas makes up about 78% of the atmosphere that we breathe.
Three. Think of NH3 , ammonia. Nitrogen has a valence of three, Hydrogen's is one.
No, they may be different or same.
When two or more atoms chemically join, they form a molecule. Molecules can be made up of atoms of the same element (e.g., oxygen) or different elements (e.g., water). Bonding between atoms in a molecule can be covalent, ionic, or metallic, depending on the type of atoms involved.
Two atoms of oxygen join to form the oxygen family by sharing two pairs of electrons in a covalent bond, resulting in the formation of O2 molecule which is stable and represents the oxygen family in the periodic table.
