Electron Configurations
For 1E.7, is the configuration for nitrogen representing an excited state of the atom because the second spin on 2p is not pointing up?

Re: Electron Configurations
Yes, because the arrow is pointing down, it is excited. The arrows would need to be all pointing up in order to be grounded.
Re: Electron Configurations
It requires less energy for the electrons to be opposite, so because they are both up it must be excited.
