Answer:Answer:

Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons

Step-by-step explanation:

Nitrogen is a nonmetal found in group 15 of the periodic table.

For the elements that correspond to this group the configuration of their valence electrons is where n corresponds to the period where it is located.

We have two electrons in orbital s and 3 in orbital p.

The sum of these electrons is the total valence electrons of nitrogen

Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons
