An atom with six protons would be a carbon atom. It would have six electrons, two in the first shell, the 1s orbital, and four in the second shell, two 2s electrons and two 2p electrons. The 2p orbital is further out than the 2s, so depending how detailed you want to be there are either four in the second shell, or two in the 2p orbital.
Sulfur has 6 electrons in its outer shell. Therefore, it needs 2 more electrons to fill its outer shell.
Carbon has four valence electrons, so it will need four more electrons to fill its outer shell.
Carbon has four valence electrons, so it will need four more electrons to fill its outer shell.
Nitrogen needs 3 more electrons to fill its outer shell. It has 5 electrons in its outer shell, and it typically needs a total of 8 electrons to achieve a full outer shell (octet rule).
Carbon needs 4 electrons to fill up its outer shell. It has 4 valence electrons and can achieve a full octet by gaining 4 more electrons.
Beryllium will lose 2 electrons to satisfy the octet rule (to fill its outer shell).
Its atomic number is 7, and so it needs a further 3 electrons to fill its outer shell.
4 to fill the 2p shell
For most elements, a complete outer shell, like that of a noble gas, has eight electrons. There are exceptions. Helium, which is the most noble of the noble gases, has only two electrons in its outer shell. A few other light elements only need two (and hydrogen can also exist with no electrons at all, in the form of a naked proton, which is also a form of completion for the outer shell).
There is a total of 8 electrons that are needed to fill outer shell of most atoms. An atom is the smallest unit of matter.
An atom of nitrogen has 5 electrons in its outer shell. This makes nitrogen a nonmetal and means it requires 3 more electrons to fill its outer shell and become stable.
As Nitrogen (N) have atomic number 7, and electronic configuration is 2,5. therefore N required 3 elecrons to complete their outermost shell or orbital.
