Atoms often form ions by losing or gaining enough electrons to end up with a full outer shell. How many electrons are in a full outer shell for most atoms? Don't know? How about Googling full outer shell?

How many valence electrons will Nitrogen gain to have a full valence shell?

Nitrogen has five valence electrons and needs three more to achieve a full valence shell of eight electrons, in accordance with the octet rule. By gaining three electrons, nitrogen can complete its outer shell, typically forming covalent bonds with other elements to achieve this stable configuration.


How many electrons occur in the valence level of Group 7A and 7B elements. Why are they different?

Group 7A elements have 7 electrons in their valence level, while Group 7B elements have 17 electrons in their valence level. This difference occurs because elements in Group 7A have 7 valence electrons, while elements in Group 7B have 7 valence electrons plus the 10 additional electrons in the d sublevel which contributes to a total of 17 valence electrons.
