How many outer orbital electrons are found in an atom of nitrogen?
Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons. Valence electrons are the electrons that are found in the outer most shell of an atom, and are consequently the electrons that move from atom to atom in the formation of compounds. The reason for this is a result of the electron configuration. A nitrogen atom has 3 orbitals; the 1s orbital, the 2s orbital, and the 2p orbital. In this case, the 2s and 2p orbitals are the valence orbitals, as they have the electrons with the most energy. With 7 protons, a neutral nitrogen atom has 7 electrons. The s orbitals can only hold 2 electrons, and the p orbitals can hold up to 6 electrons. The 1s orbital is filled first, leaving five electrons, then the 2s orbital is filled, leaving 3 electrons, and then these remaining electrons fill the 2p orbital halfway. There are a total of 5 electrons in the 2s and 2p orbitals, and since these orbitals have the most energy, there are 5 valence electrons.
