Why is nitrogen not able to form molecules with five covalent bonds?

◦ Because nitrogen can only form a trigonal bipyramidal shape when it bonds with other elements.
◦ Because nitrogen has such a high ionization energy that having five covalent bonds is not possible.
◦ Because nitrogen only exists as N2 gas at room temperature.
◦ Because of nitrogen's small size and lack of available d orbitals for electrons.
◦ At least two of these are correct.

When Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer, he called "zero degrees" the lowest temperature he was able to attain with a mixture of ice and salt.
