Question

part c
write full electron configurations for n.
express your answer in complete form in order of increasing orbital energy as a string without blank space between orbitals. for example, 1s^22s^2 should be entered as 1s^22s^2.

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the number of electrons in N

Nitrogen (N) has an atomic number of 7, so it has 7 electrons.

Step2: Fill the orbitals according to the Aufbau principle

• Fill the 1s orbital first. The 1s orbital can hold 2 electrons: \(1s^{2}\).
• Then fill the 2s orbital. The 2s orbital can hold 2 electrons: \(2s^{2}\).
• After that, fill the 2p orbital. We have \(7-(2 + 2)=3\) electrons left for the 2p orbital: \(2p^{3}\).

Answer:

\(1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{3}\)
