Why is the ionization potential of nitrogen (atomic number 7) greater than that of oxygen (atomic number 8)?
- Nitrogen is more stable than oxygen as its outermost valence shell is half-filled.
- Nitrogen is less stable than oxygen as its valence shell is half filled.
- Nitrogen is more stable than oxygen as its outermost valence shell is completely filled.
- Nitrogen is more stable than oxygen as its valence shell is half filled.
