Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The total number of valence electrons that the atom of nonmetal present in Period 3 of periodic table possesses which has the capability of forming one triple bond has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
All the elements present in the periodic table cannot form multiple covalent bonds. Atleast two vacancies has to be present in the valence shell of atom prior to bond formation for forming a double covalent bond and three vacancies has to be present in the valence shell of atom prior to bond formation for forming triple covalent bond. Elements present in Group VIIA and hydrogen cannot form multiple covalent bonds as there is only one vacancy.
(b)
Interpretation:
The total number of valence electrons that the atom of nonmetal present in Period 3 of periodic table possesses which has the capability of forming, one single bond and one triple bond has to be given.
