A scientist studies the bond energies of different compounds containing nitrogen (N). The scientist observes that the N-N bonds in one group of compounds have a bond energy of 209 kJ/mol, while the N-N bonds in another group of compounds have a bond energy of 418 kJ/mol. In one or two sentences, hypothesize a reason for this difference.
The difference in bond energies may be due to the different structural arrangements of the nitrogen atoms in each group of compounds. Compounds with N-N bonds of 418 kJ/mol may have a stronger bond due to factors such as resonance stabilization or greater overlap of atomic orbitals.
