It would have 4 protons.
You would find 79 protons and 118 neutrons
A neutral nitrogen atom has 7 protons. This is because nitrogen has an atomic number of 7 and each atom has the same number of protons as its atomic number. Therefore a neutral nitrogen atom would have 7 protons.
AnswerTake the number of protons (which is given by the atomic number) and subtract the number of electrons. That number is the charge on the atom or ion.You can't take the number of protons and subtract from the number of electrons because both numbers are the same. That is also not how you find the charge. By taking the mass number- number of protons = neutrons. This is finding neutrons. I'll post the answer later, but this is a comment.-----------------------------Depends on what you are asking. If you are asking the charge of an atom, the first answer is correct. So a charge of any atom is 0. If you are asking the charge of an ion (ionic charge), then you have to look at the periodic table. We know that metals loose electrons (so has a positive charge aka cations) and nonmetals gain electrons (so has a negative charge aka anions).So look at the graph. The metals all have a charge of their group number.Ex: Li is in group 1A. So Li is Li+Mg is in group 2A. So Mg is Mg2+and so on.For nonmetals, you look at the group number and subtract 8. (group # - 8 = charge)Ex: O is in group 6A. 6-8=-2. So O is O2-N is in group 5A. 5-8=-3. So N is N3-Cl is in group 7A. 7-8=-1. So Cl is Cl-He is in group 8A. 8-8=0. So He has no charge.
The number of protons is equal to atomic number: neon 10 has protons.
Nitrogen is the element with 7 protons. It is place din period -2 and group-15.
92 protons.
You find them in the left hand column they have 1 protons in the valance shell
In the nucleus.
It would have 4 protons.
You would find 79 protons and 118 neutrons
protons and nuetrons in the nucleus and electrons in a lcoud sorrounding it
valence electrons is the same as the number as the last digit in the group :)
A neutral nitrogen atom has 7 protons. This is because nitrogen has an atomic number of 7 and each atom has the same number of protons as its atomic number. Therefore a neutral nitrogen atom would have 7 protons.
Mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons.
find the difference between the number of electrons and protons, and then find whether protons(+) or electrons(-) are more abundant. if the difference was 2, for example, and there were (2) more protons than electrons, the charge would be written as: chemical symbol 2+
# protons = atomic number.
