ANSWER

Nitrogen molecule (N2): The electronic configuration of nitrogen (Z=7) in ground state is 1s22s22px12py12pz1. Therefore, the total number of electrons present in nitrogen molecule (N2) is 14. These 14 electrons can be accommodated in the various molecular orbitals in order of increasing energy.

N2:KK(σ2s)2(σ2s⋆)2(π2Px)2(π2py)2(σ2px⋆)2(π2py⋆)2

Here (σ1s)2(σ
