1. Atomic Number:
* Nitrogen's atomic number is 7. This number represents the number of protons in the atom's nucleus.
2. Protons (p+):
* 7 (Since the atomic number is 7)
3. Electrons (e-):
* In a neutral atom, the number of protons and electrons is equal.
* 7
4. Neutrons (n):
* To find the number of neutrons, you need the mass number of the element. The most common isotope of nitrogen has a mass number of 14.
* Mass number = protons + neutrons
* 14 = 7 + neutrons
* Neutrons = 14 - 7 = 7
Summary:
* Protons (p+): 7
* Electrons (e-): 7
* Neutrons (n): 7
