The statement that the first ionization energy for an oxygen atom is lower than the first ionization energy for a nitrogen atom is
A) consistent with the general trend relating changes in ionization energy across a period from leftto right, because it is easier to take an electron from an oxygen atom than from a nitrogen atom.
B) consistent with the general trend relating changes in ionization energy across a period from leftto right, because it is harder to take an electron from an oxygen atom than from a nitrogenatom.
C) inconsistent with the general trend relating changes in ionization energy across a period fromleft to right and due to the fact that the oxygen atom has two doubly occupied 2p orbitals andnitrogen has only one.
D) inconsistent with the general trend relating changes in ionization energy across a period fromleft to right and due to the fact that oxygen has one doubly occupied 2p orbital and nitrogendoes not.
E) incorrect.
