Q. Why do noble gases have positive electron gain enthalpy?
Classification of Elements and Periodicity in Properties
A
It is difficult to add an electron due to small size.
4%
B
It is difficult to add an electron due to high electronegativity.
12%
C
It is difficult to add an electron due to stable configuration.
79%
D
It is difficult to add an electron due to high electron affinity.
4%
Solution:
Due to stable configuration they do not accept an electron and hence they have positive electron gain enthalpy.
