Nitrogen is a unique element. It can loose one, two, three, four, or even five electrons. It can also gain one, two, or three electrons. These are not the only possibilities, however they are the most common.
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-).
It can lose 1.
Nitrogen has 5 electron in it's outer shell, so it would need to gain 3 electrons to have a full valence shell
Selenium will gain two electrons and arsenic will gain three electrons

Nitrogen has to gain three electrons
Se will gain electrons
It needs to gain 3 electrons than to lose 5 electrons. So phosphorus has to gain 3 electrons.
In phosphene it gain 4 electrons. Phosphate lose 4 electrons
Nitrogen has to gain three electrons
It can lose 1.
3
it will lose 3 electrons
Nitrogen has 5 electron in it's outer shell, so it would need to gain 3 electrons to have a full valence shell
Selenium may lose 2, 4 or 6 electrons and may gain 2 electrons.
