Question

nitrogen has higher ionization enthalpy than that of oxygen. give reason
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Now Ionisation energy(I.E) is the energy required to remove an electron from the valence shell of an atom.As seen in the configuration,N atom has stable half filled valence p-orbital ,therefore large amount of energy is required to remove the valence electron from N atom. Therefore I.E of N is higher than that of O.

Answer 2

Answer:

yes nitrogen has higher ionization
