There will always be the same amount of protons of an atom/isotope, no matter the state. If the proton count changes, it will not be the same atom. However, just to make it clear, there are 7 protons.

Nitrogen's atomic number is 7, so it has 7 protons. Were it neutral, it would also have 7 electrons. However, since we're talking about N3-, we need to add 3 electrons to that, giving 10 total.

The answer is 10 because its atomic number is 7 and its ionic state is 3-, meaning it gains three electrons when it becomes an ion.
