The peak at ~ 40 MJ binding energy corresponds to the 1s orbital. Since there are peaks at lower binding energy, it is implied that this orbital is filled (by 2 electrons). There are two peaks at lower binding energy corresponding to the 2s and 2p orbitals, respectively. The 2s peak has the same intensity as the 1s peak indicating it has the same number of electrons (2). The 2p peak is 3/2 as tall as the 2s peak and indicates that indicates it has 3 electrons in the orbital. The electron configuration of 1s22s22p3 makes the element N.

Mg has a Z=12 while Na is Z=11. The increased number of protons in Mg gives rise to a greater effective nuclear charge. This greater effective nuclear charge binds the electrons in their respective orbitals more tightly than an element with a lower effective nuclear charge. The peak height of Mg is 2x that of Na for the 3s orbital because it has twice the electrons present.

The binding energy at ~ 53 Mj represents the 1s orbital. With other peaks present, this 1s orbital is fully occupied by 2 electrons. The peaks at lower energy would correspond to the 2s and 2p, respectively. Since the 2p peak is twice the intensity of the 2s or 1_s_ peak, it has twice the electrons (4). This gives the electron configuration 1s22s22p4.
