The XOR (Exclusive Or) gate has a true output when the two inputs are different. When one input is true, the output is the inversion of the other. When one input is false, the output is the non-inversion of the other.

0 0 0
0 1 1
1 0 1
1 1 0
Look at the last two lines. You see that R is NOT B, but only when A is true. The same can be said of A; R is NOT A, but only when B is true.

Yes._____A----|_____NOR------QThis is an inverter. A NOR gate is an OR gate with an inverter on the end, so adding the above configuration after another NOR gate would give you an OR gate.__A----|__NOR---\__ NOR------QB----|__NOR---/This is an AND gate. By adding the inverter, you can get a NAND gate.A____|___|__NOR----------------\| | \| |___ NOR----QB __| |___NOR-----\ /|_____ NOR --/|_____NOR-----/By combining an AND gate, an OR gate, and a NAND gate, and canceling out a couple of inverters, you get this operator, which is a XOR gate.The formatting here is messed up, but if you go to the "improve answer" link, you can see the circuits.
1 gate.
You can't make XOR out of NOT alone. Mathematically, NOT takes only a single argument, and its gate, an inverter, takes a single input. There's no way to combine two inputs giving a single output with one input gates. You need some two input gates to do the job. They can be AND, OR, NAND, NOR, or some combination, but you need something. That said, they don't have to be IC gates; you can combine two inputs with diodes to make an OR gate, so you could make XOR with only inverters and diodes, i.e. no other gate symbols on your schematic, but it would mot be making XOR out of NOT.
