Q. Which one of the following arrangements represents the correct order of electron gain enthalpy (with negative sign) of the given atomic species ?

UPSEEUPSEE 2007

Solution:

The correct order of electron gain enthalpy (electron affinity) is $O < S < F < Cl$
$\begin{matrix}\text{Element}&O&S&F&Cl\\ \text{Electron affinity}&1.48&2.07&3.45&3.61\end{matrix}$
in $eV$
