Answer:
The electrons in oxygen are paired while in nitrogen, they are not.
Explanation:
To analyse this we start with writing out the ground state electronic configurations for both elements.
Oxygen: 1s²2s²2p4 meaning the p subshell has the following arrangement of electrons ↑↓ ↑ ↑
Nitrogen : 1s²2s²2p³ meaning the p subshell has the following arrangement of electrons ↑ ↑ ↑
Clearly the paired electron in oxygen will be experiencing repulsion from the electron it shares an orbital with causing it to be removed easily. The electrons in nitrogen are unpaired, each orbital is singly occupied
I believe the answer is CONVECTION.
hope that helps!!!

Answer:
A flat, horizontal line
Explanation:
A flat, horizontal line indicates a phase change.
The temperature does not increase because the added heat goes into converting one phase into another.
A is wrong. A downward-sloping line indicates that the temperature is decreasing with time.
C is wrong. An upward-sloping line indicates that the temperature is increasing with time.
This topic is actually quite controversial, but the answer in this case would be C.
Just some food for thought, the 2nd law of thermodynamics entropy of the universe is always increasing, but that doesn't necessarily mean that earth's entropy has to. As long as the net change in entropy of the universe is increasing it doesn't matter if one planet is decreasing a nominal amount. Next, Earth as said is not a closed system and you could argue that the sunlight and energy from the sun is increasing the total energy within the system that is earth meaning that it is increasing in entropy. Next, if you consider increasing entropy as an increase in the number of possible permutations that the universe or parts of the universe can take, then it is completely possible that an ordered planet and life is possible, although rare. This theory explains why there are so many life forms and why entropy is actually increasing when divergent evolution occurs.
