Elemental nitrogen has no charge.
In ammonia (NH3) and ammonium ions (NH4+) it has a oxidation value of -3 (and actually only a partial negative charge as part from a polar covalent, non-ionic bond).
In Nitrate (NO3-) its oxidation value is +5, in nitrite +3 (but only a partial positve charge in both)

What is the charge of an atom and why does it have that charge?
nitrogen
How do isotopes of nitrogen differ from nitrogen ions?
Nitrogen isotopes do not have a charge.Ions have a charge.
Does nitrogen have no charge?
The neutral nitrogen atom and the neutral nitrogen molecule has no net charge because they are made up of equal numbers of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons. If the nitrogen atom or molecule gains or looses and electron it becomes a positively or negatively charged ion.
What is the charge of nitrogen to achieve noble gas configuration?
-3 charge. Nitrogen has to gain three electrons to achieve the noble gas configuration of neon, so it will have -3 charge (as in N3- ion or nitride ion)
What atom has 7 electrons and no charge?
A neutral nitrogen atom has 7 protons and 7 electrons, and has no charge.
What is the charge of nitrogen-15?
There is no charge. Nitrogen-15 is an isotope, which refers to the number of neutrons. Neutrons do not have a charge.
What is the charge of an atom and why does it have that charge?
nitrogen
How do isotopes of nitrogen differ from nitrogen ions?
Nitrogen isotopes do not have a charge.Ions have a charge.
Do nitrogen protons have a charge?
All protons -- whether in nitrogen or elsewhere -- are identical, and all have a positive charge.
What type of charge do an isotope of nitrogen have?
Neutral isotopes of nitrogen have no charge. They differ in the number of neutrons in the nucleus.
Charge on nitrogen monoxide?
Zero, compounds do not have charge.
What is the charge in methyl?
nitrogen
What is the formal charge on nitrogen element in a nitrate radical?
+ 5 is the formal charge on nitrogen element on a nitrate species.
What charge would nitrogen have if it gained 3 electrons?
Nitrogen would have a neutral charge and eight valence electrons.
What does the charge of nitrogen ion have?
Nitride ions have a charge of -3.
Does nitrogen have no charge?
The neutral nitrogen atom and the neutral nitrogen molecule has no net charge because they are made up of equal numbers of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons. If the nitrogen atom or molecule gains or looses and electron it becomes a positively or negatively charged ion.
What is the ion charge of a nitrogen ion with 10 electrons?
The electrical charge is 3-.
