Explanation:

Oxygen isalready unstable relative to Nitrogen, by losing one electron it attains a stable half filled orbital. So oxygenundergoes ionisation at a relatively lower energy. This is why nitrogen hasa higher ionisation energy than oxygen.

Nitrogen ($ \text{N}_2) has more ionisation energy when compared to Oxygen ($ \text{O}_2)

Explanation:

Find - which one has more ionisation energy among nitrogen and oxygen

  • The Periodic table can helps us to find the ionisation energy.
  • In a periodic table, on moving from left to right, there is a increase in nuclear charge and atomic number.
  • From this it is understood, that the valence electrons are attracted by the nucleus tightly.
  • An atom is considered to be very stable when they have fully filled or half filled orbital when compared with other orbital.
  • $ \text {Electronic configuration of Nitrogen is} \  1s^2 \ 2s^2 \  2p^3
  • $ \text {Electronic configuration of Oxygen is} \  1s^2 \ 2s^2 \  2p^4
  • Nitrogen having half filled orbital, obviously it is stable.
  • Hence nitrogen requires higher amount of ionization energy to get ionized.
  • \text{The ionization energy of Nitrogen is} 1402.3 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}
  • \text{The ionization energy of Oxygen is}\ 1313.9 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}

Therefore, Nitrogen having more ionization energy when compared with the ionization energy of oxygen.
