How many atoms are there in a nitrogen molecule?

Think it through first, then pick an option.

  1. a 1
  2. b 2
  3. c 3
  4. d 4
Answer and explanation

Correct answer: b 2

The nitrogen molecule is N₂: two atoms.

Why the other options are wrong

  • a 1: Metals and inert gases are written as single atoms; nitrogen's molecule is N₂.
  • c 3: The three-atom molecule is ozone, O₃; nitrogen is N₂.
  • d 4: Phosphorus, P₄, has four atoms; nitrogen is N₂.
