since the atomic number is 7, and the first full layer takes 8 electrons, it needs 1 electron
No. Nitrogen has five electrons in its valence shell.
a) Oxygen has 6 valence-shell electrons. c) Phosphorus has 5 valence-shell electrons. d) Nitrogen has 3 valence-shell electrons. e) Carbon has 4 valence-shell electrons.
there are 5 electrons in the outermost shell of electrically neutral nitrogen atom.
Nitrogen can form up to three covalent bonds. It has 5 valence electrons in its outer shell, so it can share electrons with other atoms to complete its octet.

No. Nitrogen has five electrons in its valence shell.
Two elements that need 3 electrons to complete their valence shell are nitrogen and phosphorus. Nitrogen has 5 electrons in its valence shell and needs 3 more to have a full shell, while phosphorus has 5 electrons in its valence shell as well and requires 3 more to achieve stability.
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.
These are the noble gases which have a complete valence 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.
A complete valence shell typically holds 8 electrons. However, for elements in the first two rows of the periodic table, the valence shell can hold a maximum of 2 electrons in the first shell and 8 electrons in the second shell.
Generally, a compete valence shell holds EIGHT electrons.
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.
a) Oxygen has 6 valence-shell electrons. c) Phosphorus has 5 valence-shell electrons. d) Nitrogen has 3 valence-shell electrons. e) Carbon has 4 valence-shell electrons.
No, it doesn't have a complete octet. Phosphorous is in group 5A, meaning it has 5 valence electrons (5 electrons on its outest shell).
Nitrogen has five valence electrons as a neutral atom, but it is shooting for eight. So it needs to gain three more electrons.
