Consider the model of the nitrogen atom.

which electron configuration matches this model?
1s22s22p2
1s22s22p3
1s22s22p4
1s22s22p5

1s2 2s2 2p3

Explanation:

we know that the number of electrons in an atom is equal to number of protons. So the number of electrons here is 7.

Using Moller chart, the electronic configuration is writen by the electrons first enterring into 1s then into 2s after 2p. The s orbital accomodates maximum of 2 electrons.

∴ for atomic no. 7 nitrogen atom, electronic configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p3.
