NO! Carbohydrates are compounds or mixtures that consist exclusively of carbon along with hydrogen and oxygen in the proportion of two atoms of hydrogen to one atom of oxygen; their name is a shortened form of "hydrates of carbon". A nitrogen atom contains none of the three required elements of a carbohydrate.

No, a nitrogen atom is not a carbohydrate. Carbohydrates are organic compounds composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, while nitrogen atoms are elements that are essential in the structure of proteins and nucleic acids.
