Oxygen has less electron gain enthalpy with negative sign than sulphur, why? |
|
Answer» Electron gain enthalpy of oxygen = -141 kJ /mol Electron gain enthalpy of S = -200 kJ /mol Thus electron gain enthalpy of S is more than O. This is due to greater inter electronic repulsion in O than S which results owing to smaller size of O than S. |
