The process that is NOT endothermic in nature is :
Options
- AAr ( g ) + e - → Ar g -
- BH ( g ) + e - → H g -
- CO ( g ) - + e - → O ( g ) 2 -
- DNa ( g ) → Na g + + e -
Correct answer
B. H ( g ) + e - → H g -
Step-by-step solution
H (g) +e -   → extremic H - (g) ΔH eg = - 72 KJ / mol O - ( g ) + e - ⟶   → endeterm c   O 2 - ( g ) ΔH eg = + 744   KJ / mol Ar ( g ) + e -   → endeterm  c   Ar - ( g ) ΔH eg = + 96   KJ / mol Na ( g ) ⟶  endotherm  c   Na + ( g ) + e -  IE  = 495 . 8 KJ / mol
