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

Sulfur has six electrons in its third electron shell.


How many more electrons does nitrogen need to have a complete valence shell?

Nitrogen needs 3 more electrons to have a complete valence shell of 8 electrons. Nitrogen has 5 electrons in its valence shell, and a complete valence shell for nitrogen would have 8 electrons to achieve stability.


How many shells are there in Nitrogen?

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.


What is the overall of an atom?

The overall of an atom is a nucleus (protons and neutrons), and 1 or 2 electrons. The rest are for large atoms: an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons.


How many core electron and valence electron does a nitrogen has?

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.


Does nitrogen give or take electrons?

Nitrogen is a nonmetal with 5 valance electrons, which tends to receive three electrons to complete it outer electron shell.


How many electrons does carbon have in its first electron shell?

Does Helium have 2 electrons in the first shell and 4 in the second?

No, Helium has 2 electrons in total, both of which occupy the first electron shell. The first electron shell can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, so Helium's electron configuration is 2.


How many electrons are there in the valence shell of a nitrogen atom?

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.


How many electrons shells does a helium atom have?

The electron configuration of helium is 1s2; two electrons on the first (and the single) electron shell.
