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.
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.
nitrogen has 5 valence electrons. carbon has 4 valence electrons.
Nitrogen has five valence electrons.
A nitrogen atom has 5 valence elctrons. To figure that out you have to count across the row that atom is in and stop at it and the number you counted up to is the number of valence electrons. So... 1st Lithium 2nd is Beryllium 3d is Boron then Carbon then 5th is Nitrogen. Your Welcome)
A silicon atom has 4 electrons in its valence shell.
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 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 has 5 valence electrons. carbon has 4 valence electrons.
Nitrogen has five valence electrons.

the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom are considered to be the valence electrons.
A neutral atom of nitrogen (atomic number 7) needs to lose 3 electrons to have a full valence electron shell, similar to the nearest noble gas neon. This is because nitrogen has 5 valence electrons and needs 8 electrons in its outer shell to achieve stability.

Valence electrons are in the outermost shell of an atom.
An atom with 7 protons, 8 neutrons, and 7 electrons is nitrogen (N). Nitrogen has an atomic number of 7, meaning it has 7 electrons arranged in two energy levels: 2 electrons in the first shell and 5 electrons in the second shell. Therefore, there are 5 electrons in its valence shell.
