The first ionization potential of four elements, B, C, N & O are randomly given as 14.5, 8.3, 13.6 & 11.3 in eV. Which one of the above is the first ionization potential (in eV) of nitrogen?

Answer:
14.5
Explanation:
nitrogen has more ionization potential than oxygen
reason :
according to hunds rule
nitrogen has configuration
2px 1 electron 2py 1 electron 2 pz 1 electron
oxygen has configuratiom
2px 2 electrons 2py 1 electron 2pz 1 electron
by observing both elements
N has stable configuration due to half filled p orbital
but in oxygen 2px orbital has 2 elecrons due to this some repulsions exist in atom so it is easier to remove 1 electron
so oxygen has less ionization potential than nitrogen .
