It's extremely strong and powerful. Because the bond between Carbon and Nitrogen is so strong, scientists call them Cyanogen instead of Carbon Nitrogen. Scientists know that Cyanogen is always CN . You should know that even though there are two electrons involved in a bond, those electrons are used in different ways. Ionic bonds happen when electrons are given up by one atom to another.
Covalent bonds happen when electrons are shared by both atoms.
