The ionisation potential increases from left to right in a period but -the first ionisation potential of nitrogen is greater than oxygen due to half-filled stable configuration and ionisation potential of Be is greater than B due to completely filled s-orbital. Hence, the order of ionisation potential is as: <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/chemistry/82183e240bca35827b66a9a8c43c7a60-.png" />
