Ionization energy of nitrogen is more than 'o’ and 'C both why? |
|
Answer» As we known that ionization energy increases from left to right in a period so, IE of N > IE of C this is due to decrease in atomic radius. Electronic configuration of 7N = 2,5 = 1s2 , 2s2 , 2p6 Electronic configuration of 8O = 2,6 = 1s2 , 2s2 , 2p4 Since, nitrogen has stable electronic configuration due to presence of half-filled 2p-orbital. So, more energy is required to remove an electron in case of nitrogen than oxygen. So, I.E. of N > I.E. of O Hence, I.E. of nitrogen is more than 'O and ‘C’ both. |
