What is the value of electron gain enthalpy of $\mathrm{Na}^{+}$if $\mathrm{IE}_{1}$ of $\mathrm{Na}=5.1 \mathrm{eV}$ ?

  • Correct answer
    A
    $-5.1 \mathrm{eV}$
  • 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'.
