Q. The element with positive electron gain enthalpy is

KEAMKEAM 2012Classification of Elements and Periodicity in Properties

Solution:

In inert gases, all the orbitals are completely filled, therefore they have no tendency to accept an additional electron and hence their electron gain enthalpies are positive
