Description: The nitrogen atom shown (a) simplified and (b) with all of its orbitals and energy shells. An atom's energy shells fill up one by one. In energy shells containing more than one orbital, the orbital with lowest energy fills first. Subsequent orbitals gain one electron at a time, shown schematically in boxes, where e represents an electron.
