We know that ionization energy is going to increase as we go across the periodic table, so that means carbon has a lower ionization energy than nitrogen which is right next to us.

我们知道电离能会随着周期表,向右而逐渐变大，因此碳的电离能比旁边的氮要低一些,那么就像我说的。

So this means nitrogen has low electron affinity, it doesn't actually want to gain an electron.

这意味着氮的电子亲和能很低，它实际上并不愿意得到一个电子。

And the reason we can see that by looking at this graph is that we see that nitrogen when it's bonded is in an even lower well than we saw for hydrogen.

原因可以通过观察这幅图发现,我们看到氮在成键之后将处于更低的势阱中,对氢而言。
