The electron configuration for nitrogen is 152 2s22p3. When N2 forms, how does each nitrogen atom fulfill the octet rule?

N2 has a triple bond with its Lewis structure. Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons. Two nitrogen's have a total of 10 valence electrons. There will be 6 valence electrons that are unequally shared. We move them in the middle. Therefore, Each nitrogen gives three pairs of electrons to the to the other nitrogen atom.  N2 has a total of 8 electrons which completes the octet rule.

explanation:

each principal energy level above the first contains one s orbital and three p orbitals. a set of three p orbitals, called the p sublevel, can hold a maximum of six electrons. therefore, the second level can contain a maximum of eight electrons - that is, two in the s orbital and 6 in the three p orbitals.

mark brainliest and have a great day!

sorry i was late, but i don't know what assignment your talking about, i'm in flvs as well, im in earth space science. but u are behind pace bc every class should be in the 3's or 4'
