HELP PLEASE! The more bonds an atom can make, the more likely it is to combie with other atoms in different ways.
Which element is most likely able to make the greatest variety of bonds?
a. nitrogen
b. hydrogen
c. oxygen
d. carbon

a. nitrogen

Explanation:

Nitrogen comprises of five valence electrons in its outermost shell which enables it to form triple, double and single bonds with other atoms. It can share three electrons with other nitrogen atom and form a covalent bond. Moreover, nitrogen can form multiple bonds with itself and with other elements due to its small size and high electronegativity. Nitrogen, carbon, fluorine, and oxygen are the elements with which nitrogen can form bonding.
