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 () has more ionisation energy when compared to Oxygen ()
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.
- Nitrogen having half filled orbital, obviously it is stable.
- Hence nitrogen requires higher amount of ionization energy to get ionized.
Therefore, Nitrogen having more ionization energy when compared with the ionization energy of oxygen.
