To determine the distribution of electrons in a nitrogen atom, follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Atomic Number The atomic number of nitrogen (N) is 7. This means that a nitrogen atom has 7 protons and, in a neutral atom, it also has 7 electrons. ### Step 2: Determine Electron Shells Electrons are arranged in shells around the nucleus of an atom. The shells are designated as K, L, M, etc. The maximum number of electrons that can fit in each shell is given by the formula \(2n^2\), where \(n\) is the shell level: - K-shell (n=1): can hold a maximum of \(2(1^2) = 2\) electrons ...
