particular allotrope of nitrogen, N4, was first detected in 2002. (Allotrope just means a chemical form in which an element can exist. Oxygen, for example, has two allotropes on earth: O2 and O3.) The all-nitrogen compound only lasts a short while before breaking down to N2. The compound cannot be isolated, so its structure is not yet confirmed experimentally; we can only hypothesize what its bonding and shape are. This allotrope is generally believed to be either a single ring of four nitrogens or a single chain of four nitrogens. 1. Draw the Lewis structure for both the linear form and the single ring form.

Silicon is in the same group of the periodic table as carbon and,like carbon, can form up to four single bonds. Many science fiction stories have been based on the premise of silicon-based life. Is this realistic? What characteristics of silicon make it less well adapted than carbon as the central organizing element for life? To answer this question, consider what you have learned about carbon’s bonding versatility, and refer to a beginning inorganic chemistry textbook for silicon’s bonding properties
