Electron gain enthalpy increases across the period and decreases down the group. Which of the following order of electron gain enthalpy is correct ?(a) F < Cl < Br < I (b) F < Cl > Br > I(c) I > Br > F < Cl (d) I < Cl < Br > F

Answer»

Correct Option (b) F < Cl > Br > I

Explanation :

As we known electron gain enthalpy decreases down the group. Hence, the order should be F > Cl > Br > I but correct order of electron gain enthalpy is F < Cl > Br > I due to small size of Fathom. It requires high energy to become F by accepting electrons.
