Nitrogen (N) has atomic number 7. It has full 1s and 2s orbitals. The 2px orbital has 1 electron, the 2py orbital has 1 electron and the 2pz orbital has 1 electron. So the valence shell is: 2s2 - 2p3. It contains 5 electrons.
No. Nitrogen has five electrons in its valence shell.
Nitrogen needs 3 more electrons to have a complete valence shell of 8 electrons. Nitrogen has 5 electrons in its valence shell, and a complete valence shell for nitrogen would have 8 electrons to achieve stability.
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.
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. Nitrogen has five electrons in its valence shell.
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 needs 3 more electrons to have a complete valence shell of 8 electrons. Nitrogen has 5 electrons in its valence shell, and a complete valence shell for nitrogen would have 8 electrons to achieve stability.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 pentafluoride does not exist because it violates the octet rule, which states that elements tend to combine in such a way that each atom has a full valence shell of electrons. In the case of nitrogen pentafluoride, nitrogen would need 10 electrons to achieve a full valence shell, which is energetically unfavorable.
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.
A neutral atom of nitrogen (atomic number 7) needs to lose 3 electrons to have a full valence electron shell, similar to the nearest noble gas neon. This is because nitrogen has 5 valence electrons and needs 8 electrons in its outer shell to achieve stability.
