Vedclass · Answer

(A) The atmosphere consists mainly of dinitrogen $(N_2)$ and dioxygen $(O_2)$.$N_2$ contains a very strong triple bond $(N \equiv N)$,which requires a significant amount of energy to break (high dissociation energy).Therefore,the reaction between $N_2$ and $O_2$ is highly endothermic and only occurs at extremely high temperatures (e.g.,during lightning or in internal combustion engines).$N_{2(g)} + O_{2(g)} \xrightarrow{3000\,^{\circ}C} 2 NO_{(g)}$
