Answer 2

A. Electron clouds with a total of seven electrons

Step-by-step explanation:

A neutral atom of nitrogen must have a total number of 7 electrons in its cloud.

This is the required number of electrons to bring nitrogen into its state of neutrality.

• To maintain neutrality the number of protons and electrons in an atom must be equal.
• A charge atom called an ion have either the proton or electron greater.
• Neutrality is attained when the number of protons and electrons are the same.
