ASSERTION (A): Electron gain enthalpy becomes less negative as we go down a group.

Monjur Alahi

ASSERTION (A): Electron gain enthalpy becomes less negative as we go down a group.

REASON (R): Size of the atoms increases on going down the group and the added electrons would be farther from the nucleus.

(a) assertion and reason are both correct statements but reason is not correct explanation for assertion.

(b) assertion and reason are both correct statements and reason is correct explanation of assertion.

(c) assertion and reason both are wrong statement.

(d) assertion is wrong statement and reason is correct statement.

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 why Halogens have very high negative electron gain enthalpy?

The electron gain enthalpy for halogens is highly negative because they can acquire the nearest stable noble gas configuration by accepting an extra electron.
