Elemental nitrogen has no charge., but as an ion it can have a charge that depends on how many electrons it has captured or released.
In compounds it can have oxidation states of +5, +4, +3, +2, +1, −1, −2, −3
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)

∙ 13y agoI just learned about ionic charges. Since a nitrogen atom has 5 valence electrons, (valence electrons are electrons located in the last shell of an atom),7 electrons in all, and 7 protons, then the atom gains 3 more electrons, because it has 5 valence electrons (8 electrons are needed to make the it stable). So in all, you'd have 10 electrons and 7 protons. Add +7(Protons are positively charged.) to -10(Electrons are negativelly charged.) and you get -3. The ionic charge of Nitrogen is -3. Hope this helped!
