Consider the model of the nitrogen atom. Three concentric circles are shown. Inside the inmost circle are the labels P-7 and N-7. The center circle has red dots at the north and south positions. The outer circle has five red dots evenly spaced around the circle; none of them align with dots in the center ring.

Which electron configuration matches this model?

1s22s22p2

1s22s22p3

1s22s22p4

1s22s22p5

how about u try it first

alkaline metals are lithium, sodium, rubidium, potassium, cesium and francium.

alkali metals have electronegativity from 0.7 to 1, lowest in periodic table of elements, which means that alkali metals (i group in periodic table) has positive oxidation number in compounds.

electronegativity is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself.

alkaline metals (far left in main group) have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons,

for example, potassium is the alkali metal and has a single valence electron in the outer electron shell.

electron configuration of potassium is: ₁₉k 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s¹.

they can not exist alone in nature, because they are very reactive.
