Answer:
This is so because nitrogen has half filled electronic configuration.This energy will be higher for fully filled and half filled electronic configuration than partially filled electronic configuration

Answer:
Explanation:
*atomic number of nitrogen is 7
*electronic configuration of nitrogen is
1s2 2s2 2p3
outer 2p is half filled which is more stable than Oxygen and carbon
because electronic configuration of carbon is 1s2 2s2 2p2 and electronic configuration of oxygen is 1s2 2s2 2p4.
we need more energy to remove outer electron from 2p3 of Nitrogen.
& the energy required to remove electron is ionization energy.
that's why we say that the first ionization energy of Nitrogen is greater than Oxygen and carbon
