Question

What is the complete electron configuration of nitrogen?

Answer 1

For the nitrogen atom, `Z=7`

Explanation:

And so we distribute 7 electrons:

`1s^(2)2s^(2)2p^(3)`....the `p` electrons occupy each of the `2p` orbitals, `p_x, p_y, p_z` singly....this is the most stable electronic configuration.
