Answer: N (atomic number 7)


Explanation:


1) Due the electron distribution of each, taking into account Hund's rule to deal with pairing of electrons.


2) Hund's rule: each subshell orbital is occupied with single electrons of parallel spin before double occupation occurs.


That is, before any one orbital is doubly occupied, every orbital in a subshell is singly occupied with one electron, and all the electrons in singly occupied orbitals have the same spin, which means that they are unpaired.


3) Distributions:


a) C (atomic number 6) ⇒ 6 electrons:


⇒ 1s² 2s² 2p² ⇒ 1s² 2s² 2p ↑ ↑ : as per Hund's rule the two electrons on 2p are unpaired.


b) O (atomic number 8) ⇒ 8 electrons


⇒ 1s² 2s² 2p⁴ ⇒ 1s² 2s² 2p⇅ ↑ ↑: as per Hund's rule the two 2p electrons are unpaired


c) N (atomic number 7) ⇒ 7 electrons


1s² 2s² 2p³ ⇒ 1s² 2s² 2p↑ ↑ ↑: as per Hund's rule, the three 2p electrons are unpaired, so this is the answer to the question.


c) Be (atomic number 4) ⇒ 4 electrons


⇒ 1s² 2s² ⇒ none p electron.
