It will usually lose three electrons. However Nitrogen can have oxidation numbers between -3 to +5.

b/c there can only be 2 electrons on its outer and only shell, nitrogen can either gain one electron or lose one electron

It has seven, so, generally, it loses three. Thus, a nitrogen ion would have a charge of 3+
hope this helps :)

3 electrons are available, so I would say 3.
