Nitrogen would have a neutral charge and eight valence electrons.
A 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.
If the 7 protons and 7 neutrons are in the nucleus of an atom, and the 9 electrons are in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus, then yes, this would represent an ion with a 2- charge. And, in looking at the periodic table, this would be a nitrogen atom with a 2- charge, which is hypothetical, since nitrogen atoms gain 3 electrons when forming ions, and would therefore actually have 10 electrons, and a charge of 3- . However, the important thing is that if an atom has an unequal number of protons and electrons, it is an ion.
The charge of an ion is determined by the number of electrons it has gained or lost compared to its neutral state. Tungsten has 74 electrons in its neutral state, so if it has 68 electrons, it has lost 6 electrons and would have a charge of +6.
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.
A nitrogen atom has 7 protons and 7 electrons as it is electrically neutral. (An atom always has same number of protons and 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.
Each electron has a 1- charge, so an atom that has gained 5 electrons has a charge of 5-.
A 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.
Such an atom would be neutral - no electric charge.
To achieve a noble gas configuration, nitrogen needs to gain three electrons to have a completely filled outer shell like neon. This would give it a charge of -3 since each gained electron carries a negative charge.

The answer would be ion :D
If you mean an atom, if it gains electrons it becomes more negative, so a negative charge. If you really mean an ion, it depends on the charge of the ion.
When "x" valence electrons are lost the charge is +x When "x" valence electrons are gained the charge is -x for example, if chlorine gained one electron, the charge would be Cl 1- or, if magnesium lost two electrons, the charge would be Mg 2+
