Answer:
VALENCY:3
Explanation:
Nitrogen is a non-metal chemical element with chemical symbol N. More than 78% of nitrogen is present in the atmosphere. The atomic number of nitrogen is 7. The electronic configuration of nitrogen is
N(Z=7) = 1s2 2s2 2p3
N(Z=7) = [He] 2s2 2p3
The nitrogen atom has 5 electrons in the outermost shell, so it can accept 3 electrons to fulfil the octet structure. Therefore the valency of nitrogen in NH3 is 3.
