Question

Compare and explain the I.E of oxygen and bitrogen​

Answer 1

Answer:

Oxygen has low ionisation energy(than that of nitrogen). It is due to an electron being added to an already half full orbital in oxygen, which results in electron electron repulsion, which will lower the ionisation energy. ... Nitrogenalso has the added stability of a half filled shell of electrons in the 2p shell.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Ionization energy can be thought of as the energy required to remove an electron from the valence shell of an atom. Nitrogen is known to have a half-filled p-orbital and is quite stable. Therefore, the ionization of nitrogen will be higher than that of oxygen.
