How many electrons can nitrogen lend or borrow?
Phosphorous has 5 electrons in its valence shell.So, it needs to borrow 3 electrons to attain an octet of electrons. However, this rarely happens as phosphorous forms bonds by covalent bonding in general.
Does bromine lend or borrow how many electrons?
Bromine gain one electron and become Br-.
What is the name of an element that lends electrons?
Firstly I would like to correct you on your grammar. The question should in fact ask 'which' element gains 5 electrons. The question is also flawed form the start because more than one element gains 5 electrons. All elements in group 3 of the Periodic Table have 5 spaces in the outer shell. All elements want to feel complete, and the maximum amount of elements on the outer shell is 8. Therefore 3 + 5 = 8. So hey presto this is my answer to you. ~K :)
