Choose the correct option regarding the following statements: Statement - 1 : Nitrogen has lesser electron gain enthalpy than oxygen. Statement - 2 : Oxygen has lesser ionization enthalpy than nitrogen.

Options

  1. AStatement - 1 is correct, Statement - 2 is wrong
  2. BBoth statements 1 and 2 are wrong
  3. CBoth statements 1 and 2 are correct
  4. DStatement - 1 is wrong, Statement - 2 is correct

Correct answer

C. Both statements 1 and 2 are correct

Step-by-step solution

We know that the electronic configuration of nitrogen is 1 s 2 2 s 2 2 p 3 and that of oxygen is 1 s 2 2 s 2 2 p 4 . Now, we can observe that nitrogen atom has half filled electronic configuration which corresponds to extra stability so more energy will be required to eject electron from nitrogen so ionisation enthalpy of nitrogen will be more than oxygen. Again, now in case of oxygen it needs just two electrons to complete its octet while nitrogen requires three so electron gain enthalpy will be lesser for nitroge
