Q. How many electrons are in the outer shell of nitrogen?
five electrons
Q. How many electrons are in the nitrogen family?
Q. How many electrons are in each energy level of nitrogen?
| Element | Element Number | Number of Electrons in each Level |
|---|---|---|
| Boron | 5 | 3 |
| Carbon | 6 | 4 |
| Nitrogen | 7 | 5 |
| Oxygen | 8 | 6 |
Q. What is the maximum possible no of electrons in nitrogen?
Electrons In The Shells The electrons like to be in separate shells/orbitals. Shell number one can only hold 2 electrons, shell two can hold 8, and for the first eighteen elements shell three can hold a maximum of eight electrons.
Q. How many valence electrons are present in nitrogen?
5 valence electrons
Q. How many valence electrons are shown in the Lewis electron dot structure of nitrogen?
Electron Dot Diagrams
| lithium | 1 s 2 2 s 1 | 1 valence electron |

| beryllium | 1 s 2 2 s 2 | 2 valence electrons |
| nitrogen | 1 s 2 2 s 2 2 p 3 | 5 valence electrons |
| neon | 1 s 2 2 s 2 2 p 6 | 8 valence electrons |
Q. How many lone pairs are in a group?
VSEPR: Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion
| Number of Electron Groups | Electron Group Geometry | Number of Lone Pairs |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | linear | 0 |
| Number of Electron Groups | Electron Group Geometry | Number of Lone Pairs |
| 3 | trigonal planar | 0 |
| 3 | trigonal planar | 1 |
Q. How do you calculate Vsepr pairs?
- VSEPR Rules:
- Identify the central atom.
- Count its valence electrons.
- Add one electron for each bonding atom.
- Add or subtract electrons for charge (see Top Tip)
- Divide the total of these by 2 to find the total.
- number of electron pairs.
- Use this number to predict the shape.
