A student compares the atomic structures and periodic trends of nitrogen (\(\text{N}\)) and oxygen (\(\text{O}\)). The atomic numbers and ground-state electron configurations for both elements are given in the table below.

Element	Atomic Number	Electron Configuration
\(\text{N}\)	7	\(1s^2 2s^2 2p^3\)
\(\text{O}\)	8	\(1s^2 2s^2 2p^4\)

Which of the following claims correctly compares the first ionization energies of nitrogen and oxygen and provides the correct reasoning?
