Quantrex Academy · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: C. A and C only

Rb and Cs have nearly same electron gain enthalpy Their values are nearly = - 46kJ / mol Ar and Kr also have same Δ H _ e . g . . Value is + 96kJ / mol . NaandK have different values ( - 53and - 48kJ / mol ) . And IandAthasvaluesof - 295and - 270kJ / mol . As we move down the group value of electron gain enthalpy decreases, with few exceptions.
