【 】The electron configuration of nitrogen is 1s2 2s2 2p3. How many more electrons does nitrogen need to satisfy the octet rule?
Nitrogen(N) need three more electrons to satisfy the octet rule .
Explanation:
The electron configuration of nitrogen is 1s2 2s2 2p3 .
The outer most shell or valence shell of nitrongen is 2s2 2p3 .So we are getting (2 +3) five valence electrons in nitrogen.
To satisfy the octet rule,nitrogen need three more electrons in its valence shell.Then, nitrogen will have eight electrons in its valence shell.This means that nitrogen will gain the stable valence shell electron configuration like inert gas Neon (Ne)
