In order to have a net charge of zero, nitrogen can have three bonds. it will often have more or less than that number with a charge on the atom. Example: Ammonia (NH3) versus Ammonium (NH4+)
Nitrogen does have 3 bonding electrons and 2 non-bonding electrons.
An HCl molecule contains 3 nonbonding pairs..
H2CO. The oxygen will have two pairs of non-bonding electrons
In most of its compounds chlorine forms just one bond, so it has six nonbonding electrons.
there are 5 bonding electrons. It depends on the number of valence electrons.
