Nitrogen has one more valence electron than carbon has. What can you infer about nitrogen's location on the periodic table. 5 points Nitrogen is in the first group. Nitrogen and carbon are in different groups. Nitrogen is directly above carbon but within the same group. Nitrogen is directly below carbon but within the same group.
the group number determines the number of valence electrons the element has. since nitrogen and carbon have different numbers, they cannot be in the same group.
