Abstract: We study a known filtration of the second cohomology of a finite dimensional nilpotent Lie algebra $mathfrakg$ with coefficients in a finite dimensional nilpotent $mathfrakg$-module $M$, that is based upon a refinement of the correspondence between $mathrm{H}^2(mathfrakg,M)$ and equivalence classes of abelian extensions of $mathfrakg$ by $M$. We give a different characterization of this filtration and as a corollary, we obtain an expression for the second Betti number of $mathfrakg$. Using this expression, we find bounds for the second Betti number and derive a cohomological criterium for the existence of certain central extensions of $mathfrakg$.
