ns^2np^3
The general electron configuration for atoms in Group 5A is ns^2 np^3, where "n" represents the principal energy level. This group includes elements like nitrogen, phosphorus, arsenic, antimony, and bismuth.
The outer electron configuration for all group 1 elements is ns1, where n represents the energy level of the outermost electron. This means that group 1 elements have one electron in their outermost shell.
The general electronic configuration of nitrogen group elements is ns2np3, where "n" represents the valence shell. Each element in this group has 5 valence electrons, with 2 in the s orbital and 3 in the p orbital. This configuration gives these elements similar chemical properties, such as the tendency to form covalent bonds.
All elements tend to react with other elements so as to attain a noble gas electronic configuration in their ions, because such a configuration usually has the lowest energy for a particular atom or ion, other factors being equal. The drive to form such an ion is strongest when the electron configuration of an elemental atom differs from the closest noble gas configuration by only one electron, and this criterion is true for both group and group 17 elements: Group 1 elements can attain a noble gas electron configuration by donating one electron to another atom, and Group 17 elements can attain a noble gas configuration by accepting one electron, thereby filling their valence shell.
Valence electron configuration in group 1A: ns1 in which n=1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ... etc. Starting with Hydrogen, H, electron configuration: 1s1 followed by Lithium, Li, electron configuration: (1s2), 2s1 (non valence electrons in () brackets)
Valence electron configuration in group 7A (halogens): ns2, np5 in which n=2, 3, 4, 5, ... etc. Starting with fluorine, F, electron configuration: (1s2), 2s2 2p5 (non valence electrons in () brackets)
The general electronic configuration of nitrogen group elements is ns2np3, where "n" represents the valence shell. Each element in this group has 5 valence electrons, with 2 in the s orbital and 3 in the p orbital. This configuration gives these elements similar chemical properties, such as the tendency to form covalent bonds.
The group of elements that have a stable electron configuration are the noble gases.
The outer electron configuration for all group 1 elements is ns1, where n represents the energy level of the outermost electron. This means that group 1 elements have one electron in their outermost shell.

Trends in the properties of elements in a group or period can be explained in terms of the periodicity of their electronic structure. Factors such as the number of electron shells, effective nuclear charge, and valence electron configuration play a key role in determining the physical and chemical properties of elements within the periodic table.
In the modern periodic table, these elements belong to group 17. These elements have s2 p5 electron configuration. Hence they need one more electron from an electron donor to fulfill its valence shell to obtain noble gas configuration.The elements in the group 7A has 7 electrons in their outermost energy level. They gain 1 electron to get the noble gas configuration. The elements in the group 7A are called halogens.
Only group 18 elements have noble gas configuration. All other elements lack a noble gas electronic configuration.
Valence electron configuration in group 1A: ns1 in which n=1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ... etc. Starting with Hydrogen, H, electron configuration: 1s1 followed by Lithium, Li, electron configuration: (1s2), 2s1 (non valence electrons in () brackets)
nitrogen will get noble gas configuration by adding three more electrons.
Valence electron configuration in group 7A (halogens): ns2, np5 in which n=2, 3, 4, 5, ... etc. Starting with fluorine, F, electron configuration: (1s2), 2s2 2p5 (non valence electrons in () brackets)
All elements in group 1 have 1 valence electron.
