Oxygen has less negative electron gain enthalpy than sulphur. Why?

Answer»
  • Oxygen has a smaller atomic size than sulphur. 
  • It is more electronegative than sulphur. 
  • It has a larger electron density. 
  • Due to high electron density, oxygen does not accept the incoming electron easily and therefore has less electron gain enthalpy than sulphur.
