Nitrogen (N) is atomic number 7, so has 7 electrons in the ground state. The configuration is1s2 2s2 2p3. From this, one can see that the 1s is full, as is the 2s. So, the number of completely filled orbitals is TWO.

There are 2 completely filled orbitals for nitrogen in the ground state: 1s2 and 2s2 orbitals are filled. Each of the 2p orbitals have one electron.

What is the result of sodium atom transferring an electron to a chlorine atom and they become stable?

The result is what you use to put in the food. Table salt (or sodium chlorine). It's a very stable compound, as each of the ions have their orbitals completely filled. Recall that in their normal states, Sodium has only one valence electron, and the Clorine is missing one to have its orbitals filled.

For one, the atom's outer circle is completely filled with the maximum number of electrons - it's valence orbitals are filled.


How many orbitals completely filled in an atom whose wlectron configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1?

That would be 1s2, 2s2, 2p6 are the 3 orbitals that are completely filled. The other one is not filled because it only has 1 configuration. Hopefully this help....if not I apologize. *PUMA #4*
