The expected formula between hydrogen and nitrogen is ________.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The expected formula between hydrogen and nitrogen is ammonia, NH₃. This is because nitrogen has three unpaired electrons in its outermost shell, and can bond with three hydrogen atoms (which each have one electron to share) to form a stable compound with a full outer shell for each atom. The other options (HN, NH₂, NH₄) do not follow a stable bonding pattern between hydrogen and nitrogen atoms.
