Which of the following is / are exothermic and which are endothermic?(i) Ca(g) → Ca2+(g) + 2e- (ii) O(g) + e- → O- (g) (iii) N2-(g) + e- → N3-(g)

Answer»

(i) Endothermic (ionisation energy is required) 

(ii) Exothermic (first electron affinity - energy is released) 

(iii) Endothermic (higher electron affinities energies are required)
