Elements of which of the following groups will form anions most readily ?A. Oxygen familyB. Nitrogen familyC. HalogensD. Alkali metals

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Halogens have maximum electrons gain enthalpy due to the fact that the atoms of these elements have only one electrons less than stable noble gas `(ns^(2)np^(6))` configuration. Therefore they have maximum tendency to accept the electron to form negative ion (anion).
