Among the reactions, F_(2(g)) + 2e^(-) to 2F_((g))^(-) and Cl_(2(g)) + 2e^(-) to 2Cl_((g))^(-) which is more feasible ? Give the reason.

Among the reactions, F_(2(g)) + 2e^(-) to 2F_((g))^(-) and Cl_(2(g))

1.	Among the reactions, F_(2(g)) + 2e^(-) to 2F_((g))^(-) and Cl_(2(g)) + 2e^(-) to 2Cl_((g))^(-) which is more feasible ? Give the reason.
Answer» Solution :`F_(2(g)) + 2E^(-) to 2F_((g))^(-)` is easy. Though electron gain ENTHALPY of `Cl_((g))` to give `Cl_((g))^(-)` is more than that of `F_((g))` to give the bond DISSOCIATION of `F_(2(g))` is very less than that of `Cl_(2(g))`.
