hello........

nitrogen has a half filled electronic configuration of 1s2.2s2.2p3........whereas oxygen has electronic configuration 1s2.2s22.2p4...since oxygen has one electron more its energy increases which implies decreasse in ionization enthalpy of oxygen which further implies that its radius increased.......
