Describe the formation of nitrogen molecule.

Explanation

(1) The atomic number of nitrogen is 7.
The electronic configuration of niotrogen shell.
(2) It requires three more electrons to complete the L shell and attain the configuration of neon (Ne).

(3) Two nitrogen atoms come close together and share three pairs of electrons with each other, resulting in the formation of a triple bond.
(4) Thus, tow nitrogen atoms are bound with a triple bond `(-=)` to form a nitrogen molecule.
