WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!
Why do nitrogen molecules have triple bonds, whereas oxygen molecules have double bonds? How many valence electrons does each atom have, and how does that affect the type of bond formed in each molecule? Draw Lewis dot diagrams to support your answer

Answer:

Nitrogen is a diatomic molecule in the VA family on the periodic table. Nitrogen has five valence electrons, so it needs three more valence electrons to complete its octet. A nitrogen atom can fill its octet by sharing three electrons with another nitrogen atom, forming three covalent bonds, a so-called triple bond.

Answer:

Two covalent bonds form between the two oxygen atoms because oxygen requires two shared electrons to fill its outermost shell. Nitrogen atoms will form three covalent bonds (also called triple covalent) between two atoms of nitrogen because each nitrogen atom needs three electrons to fill its outermost shell.

The number of electrons in an atom's outermost valence shell governs its bonding behaviour. Elements whose atoms have the same number of valence electrons are grouped together in the Periodic Table. ... To form a covalent bond, one electron from the halogen and one electron from another atom form a shared pair.
