Question

The electron configuration of nitrogen (N) is

Answer 1

The electron configuration of (N) is 1s²2s²2p³

Answer 2

Answer:
`1s^22s^22p^3`

Step-by-step explanation:

Electronic configuration represents the total number of electrons that a neutral element contains. We add all the superscripts to know the number of electrons in an atom.

The electrons are filled according to Afbau's rule in order of increasing energies and thus the electronic configuration for nitrogen with atomic number of 7 which also contains 7 electrons is:

`N:7:1s^22s^22p^3`
