Chapter 11, Problem 63A

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The general valence configuration of N needs to be given.

Concept Introduction: The general valence configuration of a given element is the arrangement of electrons in the increasing order of energy in the sub-shells of on atom.

Answer to Problem 63A

The general valence configuration of Nitrogen is, $N=1s^{2}2s^{{}^2}2p^3$

Explanation of Solution

Nitrogen has 7 electrons as its atomic number is given to be 7. So they are arranged as:

  $N=1s^{2}2s^{{}^2}2p^3$

(b)

Interpretation Introduction
