Solution

Electronic configuration
The electronic configuration of an element helps to define the distribution of electrons in the atomic orbital.
A standard notation to write the electronic configuration is followed for all the atoms or molecules.
Electronic configuration of nitrogen molecule-
There are 14 electrons in the nitrogen molecules, and the electronic configuration is written as,
${(σ 1 s)}^{2} {(σ * 1 s)}^{2} {(σ 2 s)}^{2} {(σ * 2 s)}^{2} {(π 2 p_{x})}^{2} {(π 2 p_{y})}^{2} {(σ 2 p_{z})}^{2}$ .
