8. What is the electronic configuration of a nitrogen atom?
ANSWER
Analysis of Option/Explanation
First noting the atomic number of nitrogen atom from periodic table, i.e. 14N7.
Therefore, the electronic configuration for total number of 7 electrons will be as followed:-
Is2, 2s2, 2p3.
Also, remember that electron in an orbital have opposite spin. Also, apply hunds rule here. Hence, option C is the correct answer.
