What is the correct oder of electron gain enthalpy of
What is the correct oder of electron gain enthalpy of
- A
- Correct answerB
- C
- D
Solution
Electron gain enthalpy values of the elements are given below in ,
Down the group electron affinity decreases. The size of fluorine atom is small. The addition of electron to small fluorine atom results in electron-electron repulsions. Hence, fluorine has less electron affinity than chlorine.
Hence, the correct order is
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
