since the atomic number is 7, and the first full layer takes 8 electrons, it needs 1 electron
No, nitrogen has 5 valence electrons.
Eight valence electrons would complete the out shell. If the outer shell was complete it would still be called the same thing, however the charges would be different.

it indicates how many electrons are required to complete a full valence shell
the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom are considered to be the valence electrons.
No, nitrogen has 5 valence electrons.
Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons. Its atomic number is 7 therefore it has a total of 7 electrons. If you put this in a Bohr-Rutherford Diagram, there would be 2 electrons in the first shell (Helium structure) and 5 electrons in the outer shell. The number of electrons in an element's outermost shell is its number of valence electrons.
These are the noble gases which have a complete valence shell.
The atomic number for nitrogen is 7. Neutral nitrogen must have both 7 electrons and 7 protons then. The first 7 orbitals are filled as 1s2 2s2 2p3, which shows us that nitrogen has 5 valence electrons.
Nitrogen can have either 3 or 5 valence electrons. The number changes because the 2 electrons from the 2s shell can bond as well as the 3 electrons in the outer 2p shell.
the number of electrons in a valence shell is 8
Valence electrons are the total amount of electrons on the outermost shell of an atom. Meaning if the last shell has two, the valence electrons are two. But a complete valence shell would hold eight.
Generally, a compete valence shell holds EIGHT electrons.
Li3N because Lithium will give 3 electrons to complete Nitrogen's octet as N has 5 electrons in it's valence shell and needs 3 more to complete it's octet.
there are two shells of electrons in the nitrogen atom that actually have electrons in them, nitrogen has two electrons in the first shell, the S orbital, and five in the outer shell, the P orbital. this causes nitrogen to have a valence shell with five electrons.
Nitrogen is the element located in group 15, period 2. Thus, its electron configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p3. That means that 2 is its valence shell and 1 is its core shell. Therefore, nitrogen has 2 core electrons and 5 valence electrons.
Eight valence electrons would complete the out shell. If the outer shell was complete it would still be called the same thing, however the charges would be different.
