Which of the following compounds contains a double bond? a - nh3 b - co2 c - n2 d - ci2

- B)

Explanations:- In ammonia, N is the central atom and three H atoms are bonded to it via single bonds.

In carbon dioxide, the central atom is C and two O atoms are bonded to it via double bonds. The reason is, carbon has four valence electrons and oxygen has 6 valence electrons. To complete the octet, each oxygen makes a double bond with carbon. It looks as O=C=O .

Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons and to complete its octet, it needs 3 more electrons so both N atoms are bonded to each other via a triple bond.

Cl has 7 valence electrons and needs one more to complete its octet. So, there is a single bond between two Cl atoms.

Hence the right choice is B) .

it’s previous models   because when i picked that son of a gun’s answer it was wrong look for previous models because they might make it a different letter  

5.6⋅10−^19  j

do you need the explaination?
