Question

Why is oxygen more reactive than nitrogen?

Answer 1

Answer:

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

since , oxygen has hydrogen particles which is highly reactive

hope you get it

and 2 more electrons also
