It would have a negative charge, since the number of electrons - that have approximately the same amount of negative charge as the proton's positive charge in magnitude - is more than the number of protons. Neutrons have no charge (i.e. neutral).

An atom of nitrogen has seven protons in its nucleus. How many electrons does it have?

Assuming that the atom has no charge, the atom will have seven electrons. If the atom is positive, you subtract the charge from the atomic number to find the number of electrons. If the atom is negative, you add the charge to the atomic number to find the number of electrons.


What is The atomic mass of an element whose atoms consist of seven protons eight neutrons and seven electrons?

The atomic mass of an element is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. In this case, the element has 7 protons and 8 neutrons, so the atomic mass would be 7 + 8 = 15 atomic mass units.


How many electrons and neutrons does the element of ununoctium have?

Ununoctium has 118 protons, 118 electrons and 176 neutrons.


How many protons electrons and neutrons are in an atom with an atomic number of seventy nine and an atomic mass of one hundred ninety seven?

59 = # of protons and # of electons 59 protons make up 59 of the mass number (electons have an insignificant mass), so the rest of the mass must be from neutrons: 96 - 59 = 37 neutrons


What is the Bohr Model diagram for Nitrogen?

You draw the 7 protons (atomic number is 7 so it has 7 protons), and 7 neutrons (the atomic weight minus the atomic number(14-7=7) so 7 neutrons). You now draw two circles around the protons and neutrons, these are called electron shells. Since nitrogen has 7 electrons you draw 2 in the first ring (the maximum for the first layer), and 5 in the second layer. For example if you had Calcium (atomic number 20), then the electron shells will hold 2 electrons, 8 electrons, 8 electrons, and then 2 electrons. It gets a bit more difficult after 20.

How many protons neutrons and electrons make up atom of nitrogen-15?

7 protons 7 electrons 8 neutrons


What is the number of protons and electrons for fluorine?

Fluorine has an atomic number of 9. This means that it contains 9 protons; each one having a +1 charge. Therefore, in order for fluorine to have a net charge of 0, it must also contain 9 electrons, because electrons have a charge of -1.


What type ofwhat type atom has eight protons seven neutrons and nine electrons?

An atom that has eight protons, seven neutrons and nine electrons is an oxygen atom because of the eight protons, seven neutrons makes it a particular isotope of oxygen, and with nine electrons means that it is an ion with a charge of minus one, this is unusual because oxygen tends to form ions with minus two not minus one


What is the elemental symbol for an atom with seven protons six neutrons and five electrons?

n


Why an atom if nitrogen is electrically neutral?

An atom of nitrogen consists of seven protons in its nucleus and seven electrons surrounding the nucleus. The positive charge of the protons is balanced by the negative charge of the electrons, resulting in an overall neutral charge for the nitrogen atom.


Which element has 7 protons and 8 neutron?

Elements are determined by their number of protons. Nitrogen has 7 protons but usually 7 neutrons as well. What you have here is a nitrogen isotope, an element with more or less neutrons than there are protons. Specifically, this is Nitrogen-15.


Nitrogen consists of what?

Nitrogen is made up of seven protons and seven electrons (I'm not 100% sure about the electrons part), and the number of neutrons varies depending on the isotope. (N21 has 14 neutrons, N8 has one neutron)
