Nitrogen gas is an extremely stable molecule because its structure contains which of the following?

A. Resonance bonds

B. Ionic bonds

C. Triple covalent bonds

D. Hydrogen bonds

Answer Explanation:

The Lewis structure of nitrogen gas is shown below. Triple bonds are stronger than double or single bonds. Therefore, we can infer that the triple bond between the two nitrogen atoms makes nitrogen gas more stable.

Therefore, the Correct Answer is C.

  • Q #2: Which of the following is the atomic number of an atom that has 12 protons and 12 neutrons?

    A. 144

    B. 12

    C. 24

    D. 1

    Answer Explanation

    elements are arranged on the periodic table based on their atomic number. This identity is critical in evaluating the chemical families of elements in chemistry. Atoms are made of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus while electrons are found outside the nucleus of the atom. It is the number of protons of an atom that gives its atomic number. Therefore, an atom with 12 protons has an atomic number of 12.
