does nitrogen have the strongest triple bond between any atoms? and Old Bond

does nitrogen have the strongest triple bond between any atoms?

Since covalent bonds have the strongest bond energies, triple bonds must be the strongest, so in which chemical is there the strongest triple bond strength?


Bond best answer:

Answer by BII
"The strongest bond for a diatomic species is that of carbon monoxide, CO (1076.5 ± 0.4 kJ mol-1). The strongest bond for a homonuclear diatomic species is that of dinitrogen, N2 (945.33 ± 0.59 kJ mol-1)."
