Question
Chapter 7, Problem 7.99PAE
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: Nitrogen is the primary component of our atmosphere. It is also used as an inert reagent to fill containers of chemicals that might react with oxygen in air. Lewis structure of nitrogen should be drawn and using the Lewis structure, why nitrogen does not react readily with other molecules should be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Lewis structure is representation of bonding electrons and lone pair of electrons in a molecule. For an atom, it represents the number of valance electrons present in it. The bonding is represented by drawing a line between the atoms that shows the shared pair of electron and lone pairs are dots around the atom
