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.

What is the ion charge of a nitrogen ion with 10 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.


How many electrons does nitrogen gain to form and 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.

Nitrogen is a non metal element. There are 7 electrons in a single atom.


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.


How many electrons will nitrogen gain from forming an ion?

Three. In fact, any element in the same column of the periodic table as nitrogen will also gain three electrons when forming an ion.
