Which of the following represents the correct order of increasing electron gain enthalpy with negative sign for the elements? a. Nitrogen b. Phosphorous c. Chlorine d. Fluorine
Options
- AP < N < F < C l
- BN < P < F < C l
- CC l < F < P < N
- DF < C l < N < P
Correct answer
B. N < P < F < C l
Step-by-step solution
So we know that Cl has high electron gain enthalpy because the small size of F and there is very high electronic repulsion among the electrons of fluorine. In Phosphorous and nitrogen the phosphorous has high electron gain enthalpy than nitrogen because of larger size and lower electron density. So the order becomes N < P < F < Cl
