There is no set amount of valence electrons for nonmetals. The amount of valence electrons a nonmetal has is determined by the number of electrons on the outer shell of the atom.
No, metalloids typically do not have a full valence shell of electrons. They have properties that are in between metals and nonmetals, which means they can exhibit characteristics of both types of elements.
the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom are considered to be the valence electrons.
No. Nitrogen has five electrons in its valence shell.
There are 6 valence electrons in the sulfur atom.
Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell. They are the electrons available for bonding and generally determine the number of bonds an atom can make

Yes, nonmetals can gain electrons to fill their valence shells. By doing so, they can achieve a stable electron configuration, usually by reaching a full outer shell of electrons (usually 8 electrons, except for hydrogen and helium which only need 2 electrons).
The outer shell is called the valence shell
The valence shell is the outer most shell or imaginary orbit of an atom containing <8 electrons. The electrons in this shell are called 'valence electrons'.

Valence Electrons
Arsenic is atomic number 33 and has 5 valence electrons. Method for finding valence electrons: All electrons are arranged in orbital shells. The inner shell can hold up to 2 electrons. The second shell holds up to 8. The third shell holds up to 18 and so on. The outer shell holds the valence electrons. To find out how many there are, count the electrons in the inner shells 2+8+18 = 28, in this case, and subtract them from the 33 electrons that Arsenic has: 33 - 28 = 5 valence electrons.
The VALENCE Shell. In any chemical reaction it is the electrons in the Valence Shell that do the reacting. Any inner shells of electrons do NOT take part in a chemical reaction.
No. Nitrogen has five electrons in its valence shell.
There are 6 valence electrons in the sulfur 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.
