Which of the following statements are correct? A. The process of the addition an electron to a neutral gaseous atom is always exothermic B. The process of removing an electron from an isolated gaseous atom is always endothermic C. The 1^ st ionization energy of the boron is less than that of the beryllium D. The electronegativity of C is 2.5 in CH ₄ and CCl ₄ E. Li is the most electropositive among elements of group
Options
- AB & C only
- BA, C and d only
- CB and D only
- DB,C and E only
Correct answer
A. B & C only
Step-by-step solution
(A) The process of adding an e ⁻ to a neutral gaseous atom is not always exothermic it may be exothermic or endothermic. (C) Be B 1 s^2 2 s^2 1 s^2 2 s^2 2 p^1 In Be 2 s subshell in fully filled So, need high energy to remove e ⁻ as compared to B. (D) due to partially positive charge z_ eff , EN So, EN of C CCl ₄ CH ₄ (E) Cs is most electropositive.
