Electron gain enthalpy of F is less negative than Cl. Why?

Answer»

When an electron is added to F, the added electron goes to the L shell (n = 2). As the ‘L’ shell possess smaller region of space, the added electron feels significant repulsion from the other electrons present in this level. 

E.A of F = -328 KJ mole-1 

E.A of Cl = -349 KJ mole-1
