Question

Which of the following molecules has a triple bond between the two atoms?

A.

F₂

B.

Cl₂

C.

N₂

D.

O₂

Correct option is C

The correct answer is (c) N₂
Explanation:
The molecule N₂ (Nitrogen gas) has a triple bond between the two nitrogen atoms. The triple bond consists of one sigma bond and two pi bonds, making it the strongest type of covalent bond between the two nitrogen atoms.
Information Booster:
  • A triple bond occurs when three pairs of electrons are shared between two atoms. It is the strongest and shortest type of covalent bond.
  • N₂ is a diatomic molecule with a triple bond and is the most common nitrogen molecule in the atmosphere.
  • The triple bond in N₂ is essential for the molecule's stability, and the bond energy is high due to the strong attraction between the two nitrogen atoms.
Additional Information:
  • F₂ (Fluorine) has a single bond between two fluorine atoms, as each fluorine shares one pair of electrons.
  • Cl₂ (Chlorine) also has a single bond between the two chlorine atoms, sharing one pair of electrons.
  • O₂ (Oxygen) has a double bond between the two oxygen atoms, consisting of one sigma bond and one pi bond.
