What is the value of electron gain enthalpy of $\mathrm{Na}^{+}$if $\mathrm{IE}_{1}$ of $\mathrm{Na}=5.1 \mathrm{eV}$ ?
- Correct answerA$-5.1 \mathrm{eV}$
- B$-10.2 \mathrm{eV}$
- C$+2.55 \mathrm{eV}$
- D$+10.2 \mathrm{eV}$
Solution
$\mathrm{IE}_{1}$ of $\mathrm{Na}=-$ Electron gain enthalpy of $\mathrm{Na}^{+}$ion $=-5.1 \mathrm{eV}$
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
