Number of electrons in the valence orbit of nitrogen in an ammonia molecule are

A

8

B

5

C

6

D

7

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The electronic configuration of nitrogen is
`""_7N = 1s^2, 2s^2 , 2p^3`
It has 5 electrons in valency shell, hence in ammonia molecule it complete its octet by sharing of three electron with three H atom, therefore it has 8 electrons in its valence shell in ammonia molecule
