Why is it that the nitrogen have greater amount than oxygen?

Does nitrogen have a higher bond energy than oxygen?

yes


When the nucleus of a nitrogen atom absorbs a proton the resulting element is?

Oxygen, the element with an atomic number higher by one than that of nitrogen.


Which element has a higher electronegativity than nitrogen?

There are two elements. They are Fluorine and Oxygen


Why is the bond between hydrogen and oxygen in a water molecule is more polar than the bond between hydrogen and nitrogen in a ammonia molecule?

Oxygen has a higher electronegativity than nitrogen does, so when sharing electrons with hydrogen, the sharing is more uneven in the case of oxygen than it is with nitrogen. Oxygen, in other words, will attract electrons more strongly than nitrogen does and therefore will wind up with a more negative charge (hydrogen, which supplies the extra electrons to the oxygen, has a correspondingly higher positive charge).


What is lighter oxygen or nitrogen?

Nitrogen is lighter than oxygen


Does air density increase if oxygen percent is increased?

Yes, it is true because the density of oxygen is higher than the density of nitrogen.


Why do you need more nitrogen than oxygen?

Nitrogen is an inert gas it maintains a proper ratio of oxygen requred by living organisms if oxygen is in higher ratio the respiratory organs become oxidized and more oxygen in blood is harmful as low concentration of oxygen.


Why is the ionization energy of oxygen less than that of nitrogen even if oxygen is to the right hand side of nitrogen?

half filled P orbitals increase the stability resulting in higher ionization energy


What might happen if you combine water and nitrogen?

If Nitrogen would have properties like Fluorine(and higher reactivity than Oxygen), it could have displaced Oxygen from Water to form a compound Hydrogen Nitride


Why does the nitrogen level in the atmosphere is higher than the oxygen level?

Because due to the over pollution and cutting down the tree's level of Oxygen is decreasing .The level of Nitrogen always remains constant in the atmosphere . The level of Nitrogen doesn't' depend on the level of the Oxygen level.


Does oxygen effuse 1.07 times faster than nitrogen?
