Question

how many electrons do carbon nitrogen and sulphur have in their outer shell​

Answer 1

Answer:

for the element of NITROGEN, you already know that the atomic number tells you the number of electrons. That means there are 7 electrons in a nitrogen atom. Looking at the picture, you can see there are two electrons in shell one and five in shell two.

6 electrons

The number of valence electrons in sulfur is 6. In its highest energy occupied electron shell, it has 6 electrons (3s2 and 3p4, summing to 6 electrons, to be exact). This can be seen as it is in group VI, or XVI. In this group, elements have 6 "outermost electrons".

The element carbon

Carbon has four electrons in its valence shell (outershell). Since this energy shell can hold eight electrons, each carbon atom can share electrons with up to four different atoms. Carbon can combine with other elements as well as with itself.
