This means that Dinitrogen monoxide have covalent intramolecular forces as have they are covalent compounds. Covalent bonds are when valence electrons are shared between two atoms in order to reach a full outer shell. As a result, covalent bonds are very strong because the two nuclei are gripping on the shared electron, resulting in closer proximately and requiring more energy to break apart the bond. This means that breaking the bond on the elements in Dinitrogen monoxide is very hard and requires a lot of energy, as a result of the covalent bonds formed between the …show more content…
All that will be left is just nitrogen and oxygen, which wouldn't be effective as Dinitrogen monoxide (laughing gas) since the nitrogen is needed for the relaxation and oxygen is needed in order to allow the patient to breath while under the drug. Just having nitrogen could kill you, due to the lack of oxygen, meaning that you can't have one element without the other element. Laughing gas needs the combination of a gas to breath (oxygen) and a gas to ease the brain (nitrogen) and covalent bonds allow these two elements to react and form a new compound called Dinitrogen monoxide (laughing
