why the electron gain enthalpy of F is lower than that of Cl |
|
Answer» Because atomic size of f is more smaller that\'s why greater repulsion hence it requires more energy to add the electron due to the repulsion of other 1)due to small size of fluorine atom. 2)the incoming electron does not experience much attraction.3)there are strong\xa0interelectronic repulsions in the relatively small 2p orbitals of fluorine. ...... therefore fluorine has less\xa0negative electron gain\xa0enthalpy\xa0than that of chlorine F |
