Answer 1

The name of this element is Nitrogen.

The atomic symbol for this element is N.

Nitrogen is a nonmetal.

The atomic number of Nitrogen is 7.

A neutral atom of Nitrogen has 7 protons.

A neutral atom of Nitrogen has 7 electrons.

The average number of neutrons in a neutral atom of Nitrogen is 7.

A neutral atom of Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons.

Assuming the atom is at ground state, or its lowest energy level, it has 2 energy levels in its electron cloud.

A Nitrogen ion is the same size as a neutral Nitrogen atom.

The charge on the monatomic ion of Nitrogen is +3.

There are 7 protons in a monatomic ion of Nitrogen.

There are 10 total electrons in a monatomic ion of Nitrogen.

There are 7 valence electrons in a monatomic ion of Nitrogen.
