 The electron configuration of nitrogen is 1s2 2s2 2p3 .What does the 3 in 2p3 mean ?


Answer:
The electron configuration of nitrogen is 1s2 2s2 2p3 .The 3 in 2p3 means that there are three electrons in 2p.Now 2p means that p is the sub shell  of second orbit of nitrogen atom.Remember that p sub shell is divided into three parts that are called orbitals.So there are three orbitals in p subshell.These orbitals are p ,py , and pz .Remember that each orbital can hold maximum two electrons.

More specifically,The electron configuration of nitrogen is 1s2 2s2 2p3 .The 3 in 2p3 means that there are three electrons in 2p subshell of second orbit of nitrogen.
