Explanation:

Step1: Recall valence - electron number of N

Nitrogen (N) is in Group 15 of the periodic table, so it has 5 valence electrons.

Step2: Recall valence - electron number of O

Oxygen (O) is in Group 16 of the periodic table, so it has 6 valence electrons.

Answer:

Electrons (N): 5
Electrons (O): 6
