Classification of Elements and Periodicity in Properties - Result Question 15

####15. Which one of the following arrangements represents the correct order of least negative to most negative electron gain enthalpy for C,Ca, Al,F and O ?

[NEET Kar. 2013]

(a) Ca<Al<C<O<F Al<Ca<O<C<F

(c) Al<O<C<Ca<F

(d) C < F <O<Al<Ca

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. (a) As the nuclear charge increases, the force of attraction between the nucleus and the incoming electron increases and hence the elecron gain enthalpy becomes more negative, hence the correct order is

Ca<Al<C<O<F
