Which diatomic molecule is formed when the two atoms share six electrons
The diatomic molecule that is formed when two atoms share six electrons is N2.
The atomic number of nitrogen is 7 and its electronic configuration is 2,5. This implies that, nitrogen has 5 electrons in its outermost shell. To attain the octet structure, it needs 3 electrons more. To form a diatomic molecule, two nitrogen atoms come together and each donate three electrons, which are equally shared between the two, thus, each ends up having 8 electrons in its outermost shell.
