The first ionisation potential in electron volts of nitrogen and oxygen atoms are, respectively, given by :

A14.6, 13.6
Correct Answer
B13.6, 14.6
C13.6, 13.6
D14.6, 14.6

Solution

Ionisation potential of nitrogen is more that of oxygen. This is because nitrogen has more stable fully half-filled p orbitals.
