A neutral charge is the electrochemical occurrence where an atom has an equal number of electrons and protons. Such an atom is neither positively charged nor negatively charged because the protons and electrons balance each other out.

An ion (/ˈaɪɒn, -ən/) is a particle, atom or molecule with a net electrical charge. The charge of the electron is considered negative by convention. The negative charge of an ion is equal and opposite to charged proton(s) considered positive by convention.

Every atom has no overall charge (neutral). This is because they contain equal numbers of positive protons and negative electrons. These opposite charges cancel each other out making the atom neutral.

The overall charge on an atom is the number of protons minus the number of electrons. If the two counts are the same, the atom is neutral. More protons yields a positive charge, and more electrons yields a negative charge.

If an atom has a charge of zero, it means that it contains an equal number of positively charged particles and negatively charged particles that…

zero

A neutral atom has an overall charge of zero.

Atoms are neutral; they contain the same number of protons as electrons. A neutral sodium atom, for example, contains 11 protons and 11 electrons. By removing an electron from this atom we get a positively charged Na+ ion that has a net charge of +1. Atoms that gain extra electrons become negatively charged.

When an atom has an equal number of electrons and protons, it has an equal number of negative electric charges (the electrons) and positive electric charges (the protons). The total electric charge of the atom is therefore zero and the atom is said to be neutral.

Atoms that are not electrically neutral are called ions and examples of atoms frequently found in their ionic for include sodium, chlorine and magnesium.

The neutral state of an atom is when it’s net charge is zero; that is, the number of protons equals the numbers of electrons. Oxygen is the eighth element in the periodic table, with the symbol O. This means that it has eight electrons in its neutral state. Since it is neutral, it also has eight protons!

A fluorine atom has nine protons and nine electrons, so it is electrically neutral.

Because nitrogen-14 is a neutral atom, the number of protons it has in its nucleus must be equal to the number of electrons that surround its nucleus. Now, in order to find the number of neutrons present in the nucleus of a nitrogen-14 atom, you must use its mass number.

Nitride

Answer and Explanation: Nitrogen forms both covalent and ionic bonds. Nitrogen is a nonmetal with 5 electrons in its outer shell.

Nitrogen is in group 5 of the periodic table. (nitrogen gas) Ionic. A metal forms an ionic bond with a nonmetal. A nitrogen atom can fill its octet by sharing three electrons with another nitrogen atom, forming three covalent bonds, a so-called triple bond.

You’ll also notice that because there is no 2d level, Nitrogen can’t form a fifth bond – the most it can to is sp3 hybridize, like Carbon (which is how these atoms form 4 bonds despite having 3 and 2 unpaired electrons respectively).

From the electronic configuration of N atom we can see that it has two 2s electrons and three 2p valence electrons. N atom shares its three 2p electrons with 3 H atoms to form ammonia (NH3) molecule and completes its octet. And so the covalency of N will be 4.

Because nitrogen have 5 valence electrons it wants 3 electrons to fulfill the octet rule so it form three bonds. No, as its outer most shell contains 2s ,2px,2py & 2pz …. 4 orbitals so it can form maximum 4 bonds.
