Solution

The diatomic molecule that would have a triple bond between them is Nitrogen.

Here's why:

  1. Fluorine (F2) forms a single bond. Each Fluorine atom needs one electron to complete its octet and they share one electron each.

  2. Hydrogen (H2) also forms a single bond. Each Hydrogen atom needs one electron to complete its duplet and they share one electron each.

  3. Oxygen (O2) forms a double bond. Each Oxygen atom needs two electrons to complete its octet and they share two electrons each.

  4. Nitrogen (N2), however, forms a triple bond. Each Nitrogen atom needs three electrons to complete its octet and they share three electrons each.

So, Nitrogen is the correct answer.
