How many electrons are there in the valence shell of a nitrogen 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.


Does the number of electrons in the innermost shell of an atom determine whether the atom has high or low reactivity?

Only in hydrogen or helium, because in these two elements only the innermost shell is also the outermost shell.
