Which of the following properties of hydrogen is similar to halogen family?
Options
- AIonisation enthalpy
- BFormation of unipositive ion
- CElectronic configuration
- DElectron gain enthalpy
Correct answer
A. Ionisation enthalpy
Step-by-step solution
Like halogens, hydrogen exists as a diatomic gas. Like halogens, hydrogen exhibits -1 oxidation state in its compounds with metals. Like halogens, hydrogen is liberated at cathode. The ionisation energy of hydrogen is quite close to halogens.
