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.

What is an example of an atom ion and isotope?
eeffefretr
Is an atom of an element with a different number of neutrons called ion or isotope?
ion
Is chromium a ion neutral or isotope?
A chromium ion is not neutral. By definition an ion is not neutral. All atoms belong to an isotope, but that has nothing to do with whether the atom is ionized or not.
How many neutrons are in one atom of cobalt ion?
It would depend on the isotope.
What do you call unequal number of protons and electrons?
All atoms have the same number of protons and electrons, but an atom with a different number of protons and neutrons is called and isotope
Is nitrogen an neutral atom or an ion?
Neutral atom. An atom of nitrogen will also be an isotope of nitrogen.
Is An atom of Nitrogen with 7 protons 7 neutrons and 8 electrons an ion isotope or average atom?
It would be an ion.
How many neutrons are in a nitrogen ion?
N-14 is the most common isotope of nitrogen atom and it has 7 protons, 7 neutrons
Is xenon an isotope ion or neutral atom?
It is an isotope of a neutral atom.
Is a aluminum an isotope ion or neutral atom?
An alumimium atom is electrically neutral and it is an isotope of aluminum.
Is helium an isotope atom or ion?
Helium is a neutral atom that has several isotopes and can become an ion.
What is an example of an atom ion and isotope?
eeffefretr
Is an atom with 11 protons 12 neutrons and 10 electrons an isotope?
This is not an atom. This is an ion. This is Na+ ion.
Is an atom of an element with a different number of neutrons called ion or isotope?
ion
What do you call an atom that is both an ion and an isotope?
You call it an ion of that isotope. Let's use carbon-14 for example. If a carbon-14 atom gains/loses an electron, you simply call it a "carbon-14 ion".
Is chromium a ion neutral or isotope?
A chromium ion is not neutral. By definition an ion is not neutral. All atoms belong to an isotope, but that has nothing to do with whether the atom is ionized or not.
What do an atom ion and isotope of an ion have in common?
they all have the same element with the same number
