Answer:

The eight protons in oxygen atom's nucleus will exert more force than nitrogen's seven electrons. Also, oxygen has same number of shells as nitrogen. Thus electrons in oxygen atom will be closer to nucleus than in the case of nitrogen. When electrons are closer it means atomic radius is smaller.

Hope this helps! :)

What is the net charge of a nitrogen atom with 8 electrons
DaniilM [7]

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

matrenka [14]
During exercise, your body needs more energy, which means your tissues consume more oxygen than they do at rest. Consuming more oxygen means you will also produce more carbon dioxide because your metabolic rate is elevated.
