Answer : The correct option is,
1s^22s^22p3

Explanation :

Electronic configuration : It is defined as the arrangement of the electrons of an atom in an atomic orbital.

The given element is, nitrogen.

The nitrogen element belongs to group 15 and the atomic number of nitrogen is 7.

As we know that the number of electrons is equal to the number of atomic number.

The number of electrons present in nitrogen = 7

Thus, the electronic configuration of nitrogen is,
1s^22s^22p3
