Question

The three lines in this Lewis dot structure represent the.

A)
three valence electrons of dinitrous oxide.
B)
six electrons in the triple bond of diatomic nitrogen.
C)
three electrons joining two nitrogen atoms in a diatomic molecule.
D)
three double bonds between the valence electrons of diatomic nitrogen.

Answer 1

B) . six electrons in the triple bond of diatomic nitrogen

Step-by-step explanation:

The three line in this Lewis dot structure represents the six electrons in the triple bond of diatomic nitrogen.

Nitrogen is made up of 7 electrons with 5 valence ones.

A lewis structure is made up of the symbol of the element surrounded by dot to represent the valence electrons.

In this nitrogen molecule, both species share 6 electrons. This makes each nitrogen atom isoelectronic with neon.
