Answer 2

The nitride ion will have 7 protons and 10 electrons

Explanation:

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or the number of electrons that are present in an electrically neutral atom.

As nitrogen has atomic number of 7.

Atomic number = Number of protons = number of electrons = 7

Since negative ion is formed by the gain of electrons from the neutral atom and the number of electrons gained is equal to the number of units of negative charge on the ion.The atomic number and hence number of protons will remain same.

Number of electrons in $N^{3-}$ ion = 7 + 3 = 10
