In which of the following the electron gain enthalpy of elements is correctly arranged?

Options

  1. AS ( > ) Se ( > ) Te ( > O )
  2. B( F > Cl > Br > 1 )
  3. C( Na > L > K > Rb )
  4. D( O > S > Se > Te )

Correct answer

A. S ( > ) Se ( > ) Te ( > O )

Step-by-step solution

On moving down the group electron gain enthalpy decreases. Oxygen due to its small size causes electron-electron repulsions in relatively small (2 p )-subshell. Hence, incoming electrons cannot allow to enter easily, as in case of other elements of this group that's why oxygen has the lowest electron gain enthalpy. Therefore, correct order of electron gain enthalpy, ( S > Se > Te > O . )
