Which of the following noble gases has electronic structure similar to that of N in NH\(_3\)? [\(^{14}_7\)N]
The nitrogen atom in ammonia NH\(_3\) has a similar outer shell configuration to Neon because it needs three more electrons to complete its outer shell. Hence, Nitrogen atom shares its three unpaired electrons with three covalent bonds.This configuration gives Nitrogen a stable octet of electrons, similar to the noble gas Neon, which also has a full outer energy level with eight eight electrons.
