Answer» Solution :`"_(7)N1s^2 2s^22p^3 (or) uarr darr, uarrdarruarr uarr uarr`,Nitrogen has exactly half FILLED VALENCE electrons, which REQUIRES high `I.E_1` `"_(8)N1s^2 2s^2 2p^4 (or) uarr darr, uarrdarruarr uarr uarr`, Oxygen has incomplete valence SHELL electrons, which requires COMPARATIVELY less `I.E_1`. |
