Which one has more ionization potential N or N+
Answers
Explanation:
Ionization energy or ionization enthalpy is the least possible energy ... N + energy ---> (N+) + e- ... table so it can be said that the ionization energy of N is greater than P.
Answer:
N would have more ionization potential.
Explanation:
In chemistry, symbol N represents the element Nitrogen. The atomic number of nitrogen is 7 and the atomic mass is 14 u. The electronic configuration of nitrogen is represented as [He] 2s2 2p3. Here 2p orbital has 3 electrons which represent a half filled p orbital and is stable. Removal of electron from a full filled or a half filled orbital requires more energy.
In case of N+ the electronic configuration would be [He] 2s2 2p2. In this case 2p orbital is neither half filled nor full fulfilled. Removal of an electron from such orbitals is comparatively easier than the removal from a half filled or full filled orbitals.
So, N has more ionization potential
