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 else can I help you with?
How many electrons can nitrogen lose or gain?
Nitrogen can gain 3 electrons to achieve a full outer shell with 8 electrons, or lose 5 electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration similar to the noble gas neon.
Do nitrogen lose or gain electrons?
In chemical reaction nitrogen generally gains electrons.
How many electrons does does nitrogen have?
Nitrogen has 7 electrons
How many electrons does magnesium lose and nitrogen need to form Mg3N2?
Magnesium will lose 6 electrons to achieve a stable octet (2 electrons per atom) and become Mg2+, while nitrogen will gain 6 electrons (3 electrons per atom) to form N3-. This results in the formation of Mg3N2 with a 3:2 ratio of magnesium to nitrogen atoms.
How many electrons are in nitrogen?
Nitrogen has 7 electrons.

How many electrons are in nitrogen?
Nitrogen has 7 electrons.
How many electrons in an atom of nitrogen?
A nitrogen atom has seven electrons.
How many valence electrons do nitrogen have?
nitrogen has 5 valence electrons
Is nitrogen neutral gas?
Nitrogen gas does not gain or remove electrons. Therefor this gas is neutral.
How many electrons are around nitrogen?
There are often 7 electrons in nitrogen except when the nitrogen is in its ion form; then it would have 10 electrons.
How many valance electrons does the nitrogen atom have?
The valency of nitrogen is 3
How many electrons will nitrogen gain or lose when it forms an ion?
Nitrogen has 5 electron in it's outer shell, so it would need to gain 3 electrons to have a full valence shell
How many valence electrons does each atom of nitrogen have?
Nitrogen has five valence electrons.
