Question
nitrogen gas is an extremely stable molecule because its structure
resonance bonds
hydrogen bonds
ionic bonds
triple covalent bonds
Brief Explanations
Nitrogen gas (\(N_2\)) has a triple covalent bond (\(N\equiv N\)) between the two nitrogen atoms. Triple covalent bonds are very strong and require a large amount of energy to break. Resonance bonds are more relevant in structures like benzene, hydrogen bonds are intermolecular forces (not within \(N_2\)), and ionic bonds involve transfer of electrons (not in \(N_2\) as it's a non - ionic molecule).
