MCQ
The ionisation energy of nitrogen is more than that of oxygen because :-
  • Nitrogen has half filled $p$ -orbitals
  • B
    Nitrogen is left to the oxygen in the same period of the periodic table
  • C
    Nitrogen contains less number of electrons
  • D
    Nitrogen is less electronegative

Answer

Correct option: A.
Nitrogen has half filled $p$ -orbitals
a
lonization energy of nitrogen is more because it has half-filled p-orbital which is stable configuration. So more energy is required to remove an electron from half-filled p-orbital.
