How many covalent bonds is nitrogen (Group 5A) likely to form?
five
two
four
three

Answer 1

Explanation: Nitrogen has been the group 15 element of the periodic table that has atomic number 7. Nitrogen is likely to form three covalent bonds. the answer is 3.

Answer 2

It is 3 covalent bonds!! So it would be D. But Nitrogen can occasionally have 4 bonds because it has the atomic number 7, so it’s electron configuration is 1s\2 2s/2 2p/3, giving it 5 valence she’ll electrons. To form a full outer wheel of 8 it needs to share 3 eletrons, therefore forming 3 covalent bonds!
