Which of the following reactions does not involve absorption of energy? I. O g + e - ⟶ O - g II. S g + e - ⟶ S - g III. O - g + e - ⟶ O 2 - g IV. Cl g + e - ⟶ Cl - g

Options

  1. AOnly II
  2. BI and III
  3. CI ,   II and III
  4. DI ,   II and IV

Correct answer

D. I ,   II and IV

Step-by-step solution

Reaction ( I ) , ( II ) and ( IV ) are of exothermic nature, thus do not involve absorption energy. The process O - g + e - ⟶ O 2 - g ​ involves absorption of energy. When a neutral atom gains an electron, energy is released. When an anion (having unit negative charge) gains an electron, energy is absorbed. This is due to the repulsion between the additional electron and negatively charged anion.
