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.
An element with seven electrons is called 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.
The third energy level contains one s orbital and three p orbitals.
Dinitrogen tetroxide has 2 nitrogen atoms and 3 oxygen atoms. Nitrogen has 7 protons and oxygen has 8 protons. So this compound has 38 protons.Oxygen atoms have eight protons each. Nitrogen atoms have seven protons each. So, the given compound has 7x2 + 8x4 = 46 protons.
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.
The Nitrogen Atom possesses seven protons in its nucleus; therefore the electrically neutral atom of Nitrogen has seven electrons in orbit about it.
Generally an atom has the same number of protons and electrons. Nitrogen has seven protons.
because the atom is a nitrogen one....not all atoms have seven protons in their nucleus
There are seven protons within the nucleus of a Nitrogen atom. Also, just so you know, the number of protons stays the same no matter what the positivity or negativity of the atom. It is the number of electrons that defines this.

7 protons 7 electrons 8 neutrons
A Bohr-Rutherford diagram of nitrogen would show seven protons and seven neutrons in the nucleus, with two electrons in the first energy level and five electrons in the second energy level surrounding the nucleus. This configuration satisfies the octet rule for nitrogen to achieve stability.
Nuetral nitrogen atoms have 7 protons and 7 electrons.
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.
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.
All protons -- whether in nitrogen or elsewhere -- are identical, and all have a positive charge.
