NEETChemistryHydrogen
How does hydrogen's ionization enthalpy compare to that of fluorine (F)?
Options
- AHydrogen has a lower ionization enthalpy than fluorine.
- BHydrogen has a higher ionization enthalpy than fluorine.
- CHydrogen and fluorine have similar ionization enthalpies.
- DIonization enthalpy is not relevant for hydrogen.
Correct answer
C. Hydrogen and fluorine have similar ionization enthalpies.
Step-by-step solution
The paragraph mentions that the ionization enthalpy of hydrogen (1312 kJ/mol) is similar to that of fluorine (1680 kJ/mol).
