How many electrons does nitrogen lose?
Nitrogen is a NON-metallic gas. It does not IONISE readily. However, it has ELECTRON AFFINITY. This means that it will gain electrons to form a negative ion (ANion) When an atom of nitrogen gains electrons it is shown as 'N^(3-).
What do sodium and nitrogen have in common?
Not a lot! Sodium is a reactive metal, nitrogen is an unreactive diatomic gas. Sodium forms compounds where it loses an electron, to form the Na+ ion. Nitrogen forms covalent compounds such as NH3 and ionic compounds where it gains three electrons to form the N3- ion.
How many electrons in the molecule NO3?
N(nitrogen) = 7 electrons 3O(three oxygen) = 3* 8 electrons = 24 electrons 7 electrons + 24 electrons = 31 electrons in NO3 ( nitrogen trioxide ) ==============================
Can nitrogen form 3 covalent bonds?
Yes, nitrogen can form three covalent bonds. It has five valence electrons, three of which are unpaired. The three unpaired electrons can form covalent bonds.
Is phosphide the name of the anion formed when phosphorus gains three electrons?
Yes, it is

How do anion of nitrogen forms?
A nitrogen anion forms when a nitrogen atom gains three electrons, forming a nitride ion, N3-.
How nay electrons does nitrogen gain or loose in atomic bonding?
It gains three, loses five, or shares pairs of electrons
What is the oxidation state for nitrogen?
It has a range of oxidation states from -3 to +5
Is nitrogen a cation anion?
Nitrogen doesn't start out as a cation/anion, but it is in group 5A, so it has five valence electrons. To become stable (have a complete octet), it either has to lose five electrons or gain three. It is easier to gain three, so it gains three and becomes a 3- anion.
Is nitrogen a isotope ion or nuteral atom?
Nitrogen doesn't start out as a cation/anion, but it is in group 5A, so it has five valence electrons. To become stable (have a complete octet), it either has to lose five electrons or gain three. It is easier to gain three, so it gains three and becomes a 3- anion.
Does nitrogen have three electrons in its valence shell yes or no?
No, nitrogen has 5 valence electrons.
Does nitrogen give or take electrons?
Nitrogen is a nonmetal with 5 valance electrons, which tends to receive three electrons to complete it outer electron shell.
How many electrons does a nitrogen atom need to gain in order to attain a noble gas electron configuration?
3
How many electrons can nitrogen borrow?
When forming compounds, nitrogen can obtain up to three electrons from other atoms.
How many neutrons electrons does nitrogen have?
Every nitrogen atom has 7 electrons. There are 7, 8 and 9 neutrons in nitrogen-14, nitrogen-15 and nitrogen-16 isotopes respectively.
When an atom gains an electron what charge does it have?
An atom that gains three electrons will become an ion with a 3- charge.
