We study a known filtration of the second cohomology of a finite dimensional nilpotent Lie algebra g with coefficients in a finite dimensional nilpotent g-module M. This filtration is based upon a refinement of the correspondence between H2(g,M) and equivalence classes of abelian extensions of g by M. We give a different characterization of this filtration and as a corollary, we obtain an expression for the second Betti number of g. Using this expression, we find bounds for the second Betti number and derive a cohomological criterium for the existence of certain central extensions of g.
