Ionization involves addition or removal of an electron from an atom. No change to the nucleus (where the protons and neutrons live) occurs during ionization. Thus, the nitrogen ion has the same number of protons before and after ionization, and that would be seven. A chemist

How many protons and electrons are in a nitrogen ion -3?

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.

What is the number of protons neutron and electrons if nitrogen is 20?

Nitrogen always has 7 protons, otherwise it is not Nitrogen. Nitrogen 20 means that there are 20 protons. Unless it has an ionic bond, then there are also 7 electrons. If it is an ion, then there are 10 electrons.


Nitrogen atoms have 7 protons how many electrons are in an ion with a charge of plus 5?

A nitrogen atom has 7 protons and 7 electrons as it is electrically neutral. (An atom always has same number of protons and electrons)

Is An atom of Nitrogen with 7 protons 7 neutrons and 8 electrons an ion isotope or average atom?

This atom of Nitrogen with 7 protons, 7 neutrons, and 8 electrons is an isotope, specifically nitrogen-14. It is not an ion because it has an equal number of protons and electrons, so its charge is neutral. It is also not an average atom, as it has a specific number of protons and neutrons that define it as a particular isotope.


Is a proton different than a positive ion?

Yes it is different. Ion contain more protons.


What ion has 7 protons and 10 electrons?

The Nitrogen 3- ion. Its atomic, or 'proton' number, is 7 and remember: in a neutral atom the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. Therefore adding 3 electrons to Nitrogen's outer shell (which allows the atom to fulfil the octet rule of having 8 valence electrons) creates an ion where there are 10 electrons and only 7 protons. The ion has a 3- charge as the balance between positive protons and negative electrons has been disrupted.


What is the formula for the nitrogen ion?

The nitrogen ion is typically expressed as N^3-, indicating that it has 3 more electrons than protons, giving it a charge of -3.


How many protons are in an ion?
