Which molecule contains a triple covalent bond?
Nitrogen gas (N2)
A nitrogen atom has five valence electrons and needs three more to complete its octet. In N2, each nitrogen atom shares three electrons with the other, forming a triple covalent bond (N≡N), with one lone pair left on each atom.
In CO2, the carbon atom forms a double bond with each oxygen atom (O=C=O), so it has two double bonds and no triple bond.
In O2, each oxygen atom shares two electrons, giving a double bond (O=O). In H2O, oxygen forms two single covalent bonds, one with each hydrogen atom.
Hence, Nitrogen gas (N2).
