Question

What is a Period 3 nonmetal that forms a triple bond, forms one single bond and one triple bond, forms four single bonds, and forms one double bond

Expert Solution
Step 1

Carbon and nitrogen in particular can share up to three of their outer electrons with another atom of the same kind, forming triple bonds. These are stronger than single or double bonds and so result in some of the most stable molecules known. 

  • In period 3 there are no non- metal that can form triple bond.
  • Non metal that can form one single bond in period 3 is chlorine.
  • Non metal that can form four single bond in period 3 is silicon.
  • Non metal that can form one double bond in period 3 is Sulphur.
