Atomic number of nitrogen is 7. Thus the electronic configuration of nitrogen is 1s2 2s2 2p3. 

The valence shell, is the outermost shell of an element. Nitrogen has 5 electrons in its valence shell (n = 2). 

Now, when gains 3 electrons to fill its outermost shell, it complete its octet. And when any system completes its octet, it becomes stable.

What happens when  nitrogen fills its valence  shell is that 3 electron are gained  creating N3- ion

calculation

  •     According to octet rule  atom tend to have  a  total of 8 electrons in its valence  shell
  • Nitrogen is a non metal which is in atomic number 7.
  • The  electron configuration  of nitrogen is 1S2 2S2 2P3  or [He] 2S2 2P3  or 2.5..
  • from the electron configuration  above Nitrogen  has 5  valence electrons, therefore it require  to gain 3 electron in order to fill its valence   shell.
  • when  3  electrons are gained   Nitrogen  create N3- ion.
