D.
Groups 7, 8 and 9
Elements having electronegativity in the range of 1.35- 1.82 do not form stable hydride. Thus, leads to hydride gap and it belongs to Groups 7, 8 and 9.
The first ionisation energy of oxygen is less than that of nitrogen. Which of the following is the correct reason for this observation?
Lesser effective nuclear charge of oxygen than nitrogen.
Lesser atomic size of oxygen than nitrogen
Greater interelectron repulsion between two electrons in the same p-orbital counter balances the increase in effective nuclear charge on moving from nitrogen to oxygen.
Greater effective nuclear charge of oxygen than nitrogen.
