The first ionization enthalpy of O is less than N. Why ?

Adithya Dev 2 years, 6 months ago

Electronic configuration of O = 1s2 2s2 2p4 and that for N = 1s2 2s2 2p5. Here, in N, the 2p subshell already has a HALF FILLED electronic arrangement unlike in O. This ensures greater stability for N atom than for O atom and thus, ionisation enthalpy (energy required to remove outermost electron) for O becomes lesser in magnitude than that for N.
