Explanation:
Nitrogen has an initial electron configuration of
If Nitrogen gains three electrons the
The 3 2p orbitals in the ground state have only one electron which can be used to create 3 electron sharings ( chemical bonds) . When all three chemical bonds are formed Nitrogen has three extra electron (
The resulting electron configuration is
