Answer 1

Answer:

N - 1s²2s²2p³

Explanation:

Nitrogen is located in the p-block of the periodic table (groups 13-18) and is on the 2nd period.

The 2nd period tells us the principal energy level (a quantum number) is n = 2. Therefore, it must have already filled up the 1s sublevel.

The groups 13-18 on period 2 tells us that the 2s sublevel is also filled.

Nitrogen is located in Group 15. That means that there are 3 electrons that have filled the 2p sublevel, out of a possible 6.

Therefore, our electron configuration is 1s²2s²2p³
