Nitrogen has five electrons in its outer shell and bromine has seven in its outer shell.
The key to "happiness" for an atom is a full outer electron shell. (The outer electron shell is called the valence shell.) There are two conditions that cause a shell not to be full. Either it has only an electron or two (or three) in the outer electron shell or it's short an electron or two in that outer shell. The direct answer to the question is that if an element is chemically active, its outer electron shell is incomplete or is not full.
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.
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.
2. all atoms may onl hold up to 2 electrons in the first shell, no matter how man electrons it has in all. (with the exception of hydrogen, because of the fact that it only has 1 electron in all). Nitrogen has 7 electrons in all- 2 in the 1st shell, 5 in the second
Nitrogen has five electrons in its outer shell and bromine has seven in its outer shell.
no it only has 1 electron in the outer shell
This is a chemical element. You can find the how many electron in a single atom by using a periodic table.
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).

Nitrogen is a nonmetal with 5 valance electrons, which tends to receive three electrons to complete it outer electron shell.
Lithium and potassium are both alkali metals. Thus their outermost orbitals are filled up to s1. So, that shows us that they both have only one outer level electron each.
Alkali metals have 1 electron in their outer shell.
Bromine has 7 electrons in its outer shell and needs to gain one electron to have a full outer shell and become an ion. It will gain this electron from an atom that has one electron in its outer shell such as Lithium or Sodium.
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.
There is one electron on cobalts outer shell.
