Chemistry
The molecule which contains a triple covalent bond is:
- ammonia
- methane
- water
- nitrogen
Answer
nitrogen
Reason — The valency of nitrogen element is 3. Nitrogen needs three electrons to attain stable octet structure of nearest noble gas - Ne [2,8].
Each of the two N atoms contributes three electron so as to have three shared pair of electrons between them. Both atoms attain stable – octet structure, resulting in the – formation of a – triple covalent bond [N≡N] between them
