Nitrogen has 7 electrons
A nitrogen atom has seven electrons.
Nitrogen has 7 electrons.
nitrogen has 5 valence electrons
The molecular geometry of nitrogen tribromide (NBr3) is trigonal pyramidal. Nitrogen has a lone pair of electrons, causing the three bromine atoms to form a trigonal pyramid around the central nitrogen atom.
If you are going by the electron configuration of nitrogen then the unpaired electrons in the 2p shell would indicate that it is paramagnetic. However experiments show that it is diamagnetic. You must remember that nitrogen is a diatomic element and as such is found as N2. The molecular orbital theory explains how there are no unpaired electrons in the bonds between the two N atoms. The 1s and 2s molecular orbitals are completely filled and all of the bonding 2p orbitals are also filled. There are no electrons in the any of the 2p anti-bonding orbitals. Seeing a molecular orbital diagram for N2 will clarify what i mean.
There are often 7 electrons in nitrogen except when the nitrogen is in its ion form; then it would have 10 electrons.
The valency of nitrogen is 3
The molecular geometry of nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) is trigonal pyramidal. It consists of a central nitrogen atom bonded to three fluorine atoms and has one lone pair of electrons, leading to a trigonal pyramidal shape.
Nitrogen has five valence electrons.
There is one lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom.
Nitrogen is a metal element. There are 7 electrons in a single atom.
