【 】The electron configuration of nitrogen is 1s22s22p3. How many more electrons does nitrogen need to have an electron configuration similar to neon?

Nitrogen need three more electrons to have an electron configuration similar to neon.

Explanation:

Select one:

A)1

B)2

C)3

D)4

Answer:

The electron configuration of nitrogen is 1s22s22p3.Nitrogen need three more electrons to have an electron configuration similar to neon.The option (c) is correct.

●The atomic number of neon is 10.So,neon has 10 electrons.On the other hand,the atomic number of nitrogen is seven.So,it has seven electrons.To achieve the electron configuration similar to neon ,nitrogen need to have three more electrons.

Ne(10) =1s²2s²2p⁶

N(7)==1s²2s²2p³
