How many lone electron pairs are in the N₂ molecule? A) 1 B) 4 C) 3 D) 5 E) 2

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The molecule N₂ doesn't correspond to a real or conventional chemical formula. However, interpreting it as a request for the number of lone pairs in a nitrogen sulfide molecule (assuming "NS"), nitrogen (N) has one lone pair, and sulfur (S) typically has two lone pairs, totaling three. But since the formula given doesn't correspond to a real molecule, and the question seems to be asking for a calculation not directly related to real chemical structures, the correct interpretation based on standard chemical knowledge is not applicable. Given the misunderstanding, the closest logical answer based on typical valence electron pairs for nitrogen and sulfur would be 3, but since the formula is nonsensical, the response is based on an error in interpreting the provided chemical notation.
