This number is different for each cation.
6 total valence electrons. go apex!
A total of 6 electrons.
Because it has four 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.
let's use the ions Cl- and H+ forming HCl, hydrochloric acid, chlorine has 7 valence electrons and hydrogen has one, so when they form an ionic bond the valence shell is filled with 8 electrons. i hope that answered your question, I'm a chem major in college so i should know this stuff in and out but only a freshman so i don't lol ~Mau
eight, thus the valence shell is full, which is why they do not normally bond
it has 4 valence electrons

the outermost electrons of an atom. these are called valence electrons. atoms are also grouped in the periodic table based on their valence electrons. to complete a full outermost shell there must be 8 electrons. hydrogen has 1 valence electron. and oxygen has 7. they are able to bond together because of how many valence electrons they have.
A total of 6 electrons.
lone pair of electrons & bonded pairs of electrons
They show how many bonds an atom can create, and whether it gains or loses electrons. (Atoms with 5-7 valence electrons tend to gain electrons, atoms with 1-3 valence electrons tend to lose electrons, atoms with 4 valence electrons can do either, and atoms with 8 valence electrons don't naturally bond)
Because it has four Valence electrons
26 Count every sigma bond (13), double it to get number of valence electrons (26).
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.
