The orbital diagram for nitrogen depicts the distribution of its electrons within atomic orbitals. It has one 1s orbital, two 2s orbitals, and three 2p orbitals. The 1s orbital is fully occupied with two electrons, the 2s orbitals each contain one electron, and the 2p orbitals have one electron each, resulting in a total of five valence electrons. This arrangement corresponds to nitrogen’s ground state electronic configuration, 1s²2s²2p³, indicating that it is in its lowest energy state. The orbital diagram helps visualize the electronic structure of nitrogen and understand its chemical properties and reactivity.
