Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.
Assertion (A) : The first ionization enthalpy for oxygen is lower than that of nitrogen
Reason (R) : The four electrons in 2p orbitals of oxygen experience more electron electorn repulsion.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
