To determine the ground state electronic configuration of the nitrogen atom, we need to use the Aufbau principle (which states that electrons fill orbitals from lowest to highest energy), the Pauli exclusion principle (which states that no two electrons in an atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers), and Hund's rule (which states that electrons will fill orbitals with the same energy before pairing up). The Schrodinger equation is a fundamental equation in quantum mechanics, but it is not directly needed to determine electronic configurations.
