Nitrogen (N) has atomic number 7, so the electron configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p3. The outermost energy level is level 2 (n=2) so there are a total of FIVE electrons in the outermost energy level.

The orbital diagram for nitrogen contains five electrons, with two in the 1s orbital, two in the 2s orbital, and one in the 2p orbital. The electron configuration for nitrogen is 1s2 2s2 2p3, where the superscript indicates the number of electrons in each orbital.
it depends on the atom. for example, if it was nitrogen it would be
< = clockwise > = counterclockwise spin (i don't know how to to arrows)
2s <> 2p<<<
1s <>
The ground state electron configuration for Nitrogen is
1s^2 2s^2 2p^3 ( I apologize . I don't know how to type in superscripts)
or [He] 2s^2 2p^3.
The azimuthal quantum number describes the shape of the molecular orbital - since nitrogen's last electron occupies a p orbital, its azimuthal quantum number is 1.
Nitrogen atom has 7 electrons. The orbital diagram would look like this.^v........^v.....^v.....^
1s2...2s2...2px..2py...
The correct electron configuration for nitrogen is 1s2 2s2 2p3. This indicates that nitrogen has two electrons in the 1s orbital, two electrons in the 2s orbital, and three electrons in the 2p orbital.
For a neutral magnesium atom, the orbital diagram would show two electrons in the 1s orbital, two electrons in the 2s orbital, and six electrons in the 2p orbital, following the Aufbau principle and Hund's rule. This configuration can be represented as 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 in the electron configuration notation.
Nitrogen has 2s^3 2p^3 valence electrons so the answer would be 3
there are two shells of electrons in the nitrogen atom that actually have electrons in them, nitrogen has two electrons in the first shell, the S orbital, and five in the outer shell, the P orbital. this causes nitrogen to have a valence shell with five electrons.
The correct Lewis diagram for atomic nitrogen shows one nitrogen atom with a single unpaired electron in its outer shell, surrounded by three pairs of electrons (a total of 5 valence electrons). This results in a total of five electrons being shown in the diagram.
