Q
ELECTRON SHELL RULES:
A
1) ELECTRONS ALWAYS OCCUPY SHELLS (ENERGY LEVELS)
2) THE LOWEST ENERGY LEVELS ARE ALWAYS FILLED FIRST
3) ONLY A CERTAIN NUMBER OF ELECTRONS ARE ALLOWED IN EACH SHELL

Q
WHAT ARE THE. NUMBER OF ELECTRONS ALLOW IN EACH SHELL
A
1ST SHELL: 2
2ND SHELL: 8
3RD SHELL: 8

Q
HOW TO CALCULATE THE ELECTRONIC CONFIGURATION OF NITROGEN
A
SINCE NITROGEN HAVE SEVEN ELECTRONS
AND THE 1ST SHELL NEEDS TO HAVE 2 ELECTRONS
THAN THE 2ND SHELL IS LEFT WITH 5 ELECTRONS
ELECTRONIC CONFIGURATION OF NITROGEN IS: 2, 5
