Q. The elements with highest and lowest electron gain enthalpy in group $16$ respectively are

TS EAMCET 2019

Solution:

The electron gain enthalpy decreases with increases in size of the central atom on moving down the group. Oxygen has less negative electron gain enthalpy than sulphur. Hence, option (c) is correct.
