The atomic number of nitrogen is 7. That means that nitrogen has 7 protons per atom, each one having a +1 charge. Assuming that the atom of nitrogen is electrically neutral, there must also be 7 electrons, each of them having a -1 charge, in order for the total charge of the atom to be 0.

∙ 13y agoA nitrogen ion can have different charges, but for example, a nitrogen ion with a +3 charge would have lost 3 electrons from the neutral nitrogen atom (which has 7 electrons). Therefore, the nitrogen ion with a +3 charge would have 4 electrons.

∙ 12y agonumber of electrons in nitrogen are 7
two in the first shell and 5 in the second shell
so the total number is 7

The N3 ion has 26 electrons. Each nitrogen atom contributes 7 valence electrons, and there are three nitrogen atoms in the N3 ion.
Nitrogen can gain three electrons to form an ion with a charge of -3. This would give nitrogen a stable octet of electrons in its outer shell, following the octet rule.
In an ion of nitrogen with a charge of +5, the ion has lost 5 electrons to become positively charged. Since a nitrogen atom has 7 electrons, losing 5 electrons would leave the ion with 2 electrons.
A nitrogen ion -3 has 7 protons and 10 electrons. This is because nitrogen normally has 7 protons and 7 electrons, but the -3 charge indicates that it has gained 3 electrons to become negatively charged.
The symbol for nitrogen gaining three electrons is N3-.
There are often 7 electrons in nitrogen except when the nitrogen is in its ion form; then it would have 10 electrons.
The N3 ion has 26 electrons. Each nitrogen atom contributes 7 valence electrons, and there are three nitrogen atoms in the N3 ion.

There are 10 electrons in the ion of nitrogen (the 3- charged nitrogen).
There would be 13 electrons.
A nitrogen ion with 10 electrons would have a charge of +3, as nitrogen normally has 7 electrons and a neutral nitrogen ion would have 7 electrons. By having 10 electrons, it has lost 3 electrons, resulting in a +3 charge.

Nitrogen is a non metal element. There are 7 electrons in a single atom.
A nitrogen ion -3 has 7 protons and 10 electrons. This is because nitrogen normally has 7 protons and 7 electrons, but the -3 charge indicates that it has gained 3 electrons to become negatively charged.
Nitrogen typically gains 3 electrons to achieve a full outer electron shell and form the Nitride ion (N3-).
