What are all the factors that influences electron gain enthalpy? |
|
Answer» 1. Size of the atom: The new electron which was added experiences stronger attraction to its nucleus if the atoms are smaller in size. Atomic size α \(\frac{1}{Electron\,gain\,enthalpy}\) 2. Nuclear charge: The new electron which was added experiences stronger attraction to its nucleus if the atom possess greater nuclear charge. Nuclear charge α Electron gain enthalpy 3. Electronic configuration: An atom with stable electronic configuration has no tendency to gain an electron. Such atoms have zero or almost zero electron gain enthalpy. |
