How would you account for the following: (i) The electron gain enthalpy with negative sign is less for oxygen than that for sulphur.
(i) This is due to smaller size of oxygen the electron cloud is distributed over a small region of space, making electron density high which repels the incoming electrons. (ii) Because...

Would you expect the second electron gain enthalpy of O as positive, more negative or less negative than the first? Justify your answer
Second electron affinity of O is largely +ve because of repulsion between negatively charged ions and second electron to be added. Energy required to overcome repulsion is more than the...

Explain with an example that strong acids have very weak conjugate bases and a strong base have a very weak conjugate acid.
HCl + HOH --------> Cl- + H3O+ CH3COOH + HOH --------> CH3COO- + H3O+ HCl is strong acid but chloride ion is a weak base similarly CH3COOH is weak acid but CH3COO-...
