How many valence electrons does n2 have after the bond? is it 2, 6, or 8 electrons?

Basically, nitrogen has 5 valence electrons and it needs 3 more valence electrons to be able to obtain a complete octet. Thus, after the bond, N2 contains 8 valence electrons.
N2 is a chemical formula of Nitrogen gas. Nitrogen is called N2 and not N because it needs to be combined with other nitrogen element in order to complete its octet. This combination of 2 Nitrogen atoms is called triple bond with a symbol of ( : N ≡ N: )

The metalloids are a unique group of elements that share properties of both metals and nonmetals.

Explanation: They're also called the semimetals because of the shared properties of these elements along the dividing line between metals and nonmetals.
