Identify the atoms present in the molecule NH2OH: nitrogen (N), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O).
Determine the number of valence electrons for each atom based on their group in the periodic table: nitrogen has 5 valence electrons, oxygen has 6 valence electrons, and hydrogen has 1 valence electron.
Count the number of each type of atom in NH2OH: there is 1 nitrogen atom, 3 hydrogen atoms (2 from NH2 and 1 from OH), and 1 oxygen atom.
Calculate the total valence electrons by multiplying the number of each atom by its valence electrons and summing them up: total valence electrons = (1 × 5) + (3 × 1) + (1 × 6).
Sum these values to find the total number of valence electrons in NH2OH.
