N2+ and N2- I just did it on mastering chem and it worked I'm pretty sure its because when you count the valence electrons in N2+ and N2- you get 9 and 11 respectively because these are odd there has to be an unpaired electron in each
Yes, An N2 molecules contains a triple covalent bond
Nitrogen exists in the atmosphere as N2, a diatomic molecule. There are two ( 2 ) atoms in an N2 molecule. Each atom has 7 neutrons, 7 protons, and 7 electrons; 2 electrons in the first shell and 5 electrons in the outer shell.
Nitrogen's position on the periodic table means it is 3 electrons short of the stable noble gas configuration on Neon. If two Nitrogen atoms mutually share 3 electrons to form a triple bond, each nitrogen will have its required quota of electrons to iso-electronic with Neon and thus be stable. Add: Nitrogen atoms have five valence electrons. Two of the valence electrons form a lone pair, and the other three electrons are unpaired. Nitrogen atoms bond with one another by each sharing its three unpaired electrons with the other. This gives each of them six paired electrons, plus the two lone pairs of electrons on each nitrogen atom, which all together forms an octet for each nitrogen atom. An octet is a noble gas configuration, which makes the N2 molecule stable. The lewis dot diagram for an N2 molecule is :N:::N: .
No, nitrogen is paramagnetic because it has 3 unpaired electrons in the 2p orbital. Electron configuration: 1s^2 2s^2 2p^3 There are three orbitals in the p orbital and they must be filled singly first before they can be paired and because there is only 3 electrons for 3 orbitals, all of them are unpaired.
O2 has stronger London dispersion forces than N2 because O2 has more electrons, which allows for greater polarization and stronger temporary dipoles. This results in stronger attractive forces between O2 molecules compared to N2 molecules.
Yes, N2 and O2 have unpaired electrons because they have a triple bond between the nitrogen or oxygen atoms, resulting in one unpaired electron in each molecule. Li2 does not have unpaired electrons because it forms a stable bond with shared electrons within the lithium atoms.
If you are going by the electron configuration of nitrogen then the unpaired electrons in the 2p shell would indicate that it is paramagnetic. However experiments show that it is diamagnetic. You must remember that nitrogen is a diatomic element and as such is found as N2. The molecular orbital theory explains how there are no unpaired electrons in the bonds between the two N atoms. The 1s and 2s molecular orbitals are completely filled and all of the bonding 2p orbitals are also filled. There are no electrons in the any of the 2p anti-bonding orbitals. Seeing a molecular orbital diagram for N2 will clarify what i mean.
The s electrons in N2 are unbonded; there are four of them in each nitrogen atom and therefore 8 in the molecule N2.
No. N2 is diamagnetic, there are no unpaired electrons.
Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons. It needs 3 valence electrons to complete a full octet. A full octet makes Nitrogen more stable.
The formula for the synthesis of ammonia from diatomic nitrogen and hydrogen is: N2+3H2-->2NH3

n2-3n+2
Three pairs of electrons.
A nitrogen atom contains three valence electrons so a nitrogen molecule N2 will form a triple covalent bond.
(N2) + 3(H2) = 2(NH3)
