What happens when nitrogen fills its valence shell?

Hello!

Like many other elements in chemistry, when an atom's valence shell is filled the element becomes stable. Through the octet rule we know that when the very last valence shell becomes filled, the atom is stable and therefore it is highly unlikely for the element to form bonds with that of another.

I hope this helped!
