How many electrons would a neutral atom of nitrogen need to lose in order to have a full valence electron shell?

Since nitrogen is a non-metal with five electrons in its valence shell, it will gain three electrons to attain a stable electronic configuration. So its valency is -3.


Why nitrogen pentafluoride does not exist?

Nitrogen does not form pentahalides due to the non availability of d orbitals in its valence shell.


Does aluminum have three electrons in its valence shell yes or no?

Yes, aluminum has 3 valence electrons.


Atoms of some elements can share three pairs of electrons. True or false?

True. Nitrogen can share three pairs of electrons and has a lone pair of electrons for a total of eight in it's valence shell

How many valence electrons does nitrogen need to be full?

Nitrogen has five valence electrons as a neutral atom, but it is shooting for eight. So it needs to gain three more electrons.


How many electrons will nitrogen gain or lose when it forms an ion?

Nitrogen has 5 electron in it's outer shell, so it would need to gain 3 electrons to have a full valence shell


Does calcium have three electrons in its valence shell yes or no?

No. It has Two electron in its valance shell.


Does sodium have three electrons in its valence shell yes or no?

yes indeed :)


How with 5 valence electrons will achieve a full set of valence electrons?

If you're asking how will an atom with 5 valence electrons will achieve a full set of valence electrons, then the answer would be that they bond with other atoms to gain a full set of the valence electrons by sharing or gaining 3 electrons.


How many valence electronss are there in Boron?

There are three valance electrons. These are the electrons in the outer shell if it is not full.
