As the number of electrons added to the same principal energy level increases, atomic size generally
C. Decreases.
Answer:
– 1
Explanation:
From the question given above, we obtained the following:
Electron = 8
Net charge of nitrogen =.?
Nitrogen has atomic number of 7. This also means that nitrogen has 7 proton because atomic number of an element is the equal to number of protons in the atom of the element.
Thus, we can obtain the net charge of nitrogen with 8 electrons by calculating the difference between the protons and electrons of the nitrogen atom. This can be obtained as follow:
Proton = 7
Electron = 8
Net charge = Proton – Electron
Net charge = 7 – 8
Net charge = – 1
Therefore, the net charge of the nitrogen atom with 8 electrons is – 1
