Solution

Nitrogen(N):

  • Nitrogen is a p-block element having atomic number 7.
  • Nitrogen belongs to group 15.
  • Nitrogen is one of the most electronegative atoms after fluorine(F) and oxygen(O).

Electronic configuration of Group 15

  • The valence shell electronic configuration of these elements is ns2np3 .
  • These elements have completely filled s orbitals and half-filled p orbitals, making their electronic configuration extra stable.

Electronic configuration:

The electronic configuration will be 1s22s22p3.
