all 7 electrons were shown to share the same orbit surrounding the nucleus while they should be in different orbits at different energy level. for N, there should be 2 in the lowest orbit n 5 more in the second higher orbit. the orbits should also be much further away from the nucleus.

An electron shell can hold 2(n^2) electrons (technically) where n is the shell number, i.e. shell 1 can hold 2, shell 2 can hold 8, 3 holds 18 and so on.
The atomic number of Nitrogen is 7, i.e. it has 7 electrons (to match its 7 protons, assuming it isn't an ion).

With the atomic number, you simply start from shell 1 and work out. So we put 2 electrons in shell 1, leaving us with 5 left. Shell 2 can hold 6 so we can fit all 5 in.

In other words, you should have 2 electron shells on the atom, shell 1 with 2 e- and shell 2 with 5 e-.
