QUESTION 18
The first ionization potential for O is lower than the first ionization potential for N because:
O N has a p3 configuration (half filled degenerate orbitals)
N is to the right of O on the periodic table
O N is below O on the periodic table
ionization potentials decrease across a representative period
Hund's rule is violated
