  • Nonpolar Bonds: Identifying Elements with Only Nonpolar Bonds (N₂)
    The element that contains only nonpolar bonds is diatomic nitrogen (N₂).

    Here's why:

    * Nonpolar Bonds: These occur when two atoms of the same element share electrons equally. This happens because the atoms have the same electronegativity (the ability to attract electrons).

    * Nitrogen (N₂): In a nitrogen molecule, two nitrogen atoms share three pairs of electrons, creating a triple bond. Since both nitrogen atoms have identical electronegativity, the electron pairs are shared equally, resulting in a nonpolar covalent bond.
