Question

Which one of the following arrangements represents the correct order of electron gain enthalpy (with negative sign) of the given atomic species.

  1. (a) C l less than F less than S less than O  
  2. O less than S less than F less than C l  
  3. (c) S less than O less than C l less than F  
  4. F less than C l less than O less than S  

The correct answer is: O less than S less than F less than C l


    Halogens have very high electron affinity. It may be rated that the electron affinity of fluorine is unexpectedly low left parenthesis less than C l right parenthesis. This may perhaps be due to small size of F atom. The value of electron gain enthalpies for C l comma F comma S and O are respectively 349, 333, 200 & 142 KJ / mol hence correct order is C l greater than F greater than S greater than O
