The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement is incorrect regarding the electronic configuration of nitrogen and its quantum numbers, we will analyze the provided information step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the Electronic Configuration of Nitrogen - Nitrogen has an atomic number of 7, meaning it has 7 electrons. - The correct electronic configuration is: - 1s² 2s² 2p³ - This means: - 2 electrons in the 1s orbital - 2 electrons in the 2s orbital - 3 electrons in the 2p orbital ### Step 2: Analyze the Statements 1. **Filling of Electrons in Orbitals**: - The statement mentions that electrons fill orbitals in a way that each orbital gets one electron first (in parallel spin) before pairing. This is known as Hund's Rule and is correct. 2. **Quantum Numbers for Orbitals**: - It states that to describe an orbital, you need three quantum numbers (n, l, m). This is correct. - To describe an electron in an orbital, you need four quantum numbers (n, l, m, and s). This is also correct. 3. **Angular Momentum of Orbitals**: - The statement regarding the angular momentum of the s orbital being zero is correct since the azimuthal quantum number (l) for s orbitals is 0, leading to zero angular momentum. 4. **Incorrect Statement**: - The incorrect statement in the video is the electronic configuration initially provided, which incorrectly lists multiple 3s orbitals and fails to correctly represent the 2p electrons. ### Conclusion The wrong statement is the one that incorrectly describes the electronic configuration of nitrogen. ### Final Answer The wrong statement is the incorrect electronic configuration of nitrogen, which should be 1s² 2s² 2p³ instead of the incorrect representation given in the video. ---
