Nitrogen is 5 valence electrons
oxygen is 6 valence electrons
fluorine is 7 electrons
Hello! Your answer would be a gain of electrons and a decrease in positive charge.
Contrary to how it sounds, reduction is actually a gain of electrons. It is part of a set of reactions known as a redox reaction, reduction being a gain of electrons and oxidation being a loss.
With the gain of electrons, the element would become more negative as electrons bring with them a negative charge. Therefore, this would decrease the positive charge.
Hope this helped!
