Question

Oxygen is more reactive than Nitrogen, why? Explain in detail.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Both the particles don't exist under natural conditions because of they from N2 and O2 molecules. ... O2 has two more electrons compared to N2, with extra 2 electrons in the higher energy anti-bonding orbitals known as Diradical. These electrons have higher energy and are unpaired; therefore, O2 is more reactive.

Answer 2

Answer:

Than O2 molecules has 2 more electrons than N2.since the bonding orbital are filled from the N2 configuration the additional 2 electrons are in higher energy anti bonding orbital as a diradical these electrons are of higher energy and uppaired therefore O2 is more reactive.
