Nitrogen is a group 15 element. What does being in this group imply about the structure of the nitrogen atom? O A. Nitrogen has 15 valence electrons.
OB.
Nitrogen has 15 neutrons.
OC. Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons.
D.
Nitrogen has 5 neutrons.

D. Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons.

Explanation:

Nitrogen is an element in group 5A of the periodic table. Elements in group 5A all contain just 5 valence electrons. (Electrons in the outer shell).

**Elements are organized into these groups in a periodic table based on the number of valence electrons which determines their charge. (Does not apply to transition metals)

i'm assuming that the correct answer is indeed the first one/ "a"..

elements make up everything, and they combine to make compounds.

the answer is c
