Random

Orbital

Unknown

Electrons are thought to be found randomly within cloud-like orbitals around each atoms' nucleus, but it is physically impossible to ever know the precise location of an electron, for even if you were to look at them through a high-powered microscope, that small portion of light would be enough energy to change their location and path of movement.

What are the three main parts of an electrons address used in the current atomic theory that describe an electrons location?

I think you are referring to the 3 quantum numbers, n, l m; principal azimuthal and magnetic. Together with the spin quantum number they "define" an electron- but I would hesitate to call this the electrons location- Heisenbergs uncertainty principle gets in the way of a simultaneous knowledge of energy and location.

In terms of oxidation number of nitrogen?

Nitrogen typically forms chemical bonds in which it either gains or shares 3 electrons. So 3 is the number, or more precisely -3, since gaining electrons gives a negative charge.
