Nitrogen (denoted N) is in the second period and in the fifteenth group.

A period is a row in the Periodic Table.

It is referred as an period because the elements (in this case: Li, Be, B, C, N, O, F, Ne) have similar properties between them. For those that have an greater understanding (or desire) of chemistry, each element in the second period have an 1s, 2s, and 2p orbitals.

Refer to your copy of your periodic table for a better comprehension. Or look at the 'Related links' below.
