ANSWER:

Step 1 of 11

Here we have to draw the Lewis structure of the following molecules.

(a) \(\mathrm{N}_{2}\)

The atomic number of N is 7. The electronic configuration is,  \(_7\mathrm{N}\ 1\mathrm{s}^2\ 2\mathrm{s}^2\ 2\mathrm{p}^3\)

The total number of valence electrons in \(\mathrm{N}_{2}\) is = 5(2) = 10

The Lewis structure is,
