Reacting Nitrogen Gas with Alkali or Alkaline earth Metals form trivalent N3- ions.

It must loose an electron.
In a nitrogen atom's ground state, it has five atoms. The electron will have to gain three electrons to become stable.
No, nitrogen does not become a negative ion before bonding. Nitrogen typically forms covalent bonds, in which it shares electrons with other atoms.
It has to have an equal number of protons and electrons otherwise it'll become an ion.
No
ion know
you must take i have no idea lol j
The ion with sulfur or nitrogen in oxyanions is called a sulfite or nitrate ion.
An ion forms when an atom gains or loses electrons to have a stable electron configuration. When an atom gains electrons, it forms a negatively charged ion (anion), and when it loses electrons, it forms a positively charged ion (cation).
The oxidation number of nitrogen in the nitrate ion (NO3-) is +5. This is because oxygen generally has an oxidation number of -2, and the overall charge of the nitrate ion is -1. Thus, nitrogen must have an oxidation number of +5 to balance the charge.
Nitride is an ion consisting of a single nitrogen atom with a 3- charge. This must be balanced by a positive ion, usually a metal ion. What metal it is can vary.
