MCQ
The ionisation energy of nitrogen is more than oxygen because of :
  • A
    More attraction of electrons by the nucleus.
  • The extra stability of half $-$ filled $p\ -$ orbitals.
  • C
    The ionic radius of nitrogen atom is smaller.
  • D
    All of the above are correct.

Answer

Correct option: B.
The extra stability of half $-$ filled $p\ -$ orbitals.
Ionisation energy of nitrogen is more than oxygen due to half $-$ filled $p\ -$ orbitals, which gives it extra stability.
