पर्याय
\[\ce{F > Cl > Br > I}\]
\[\ce{F < Cl < Br < I}\]
\[\ce{F < Cl > Br > I}\]
\[\ce{F < Cl < Br < I}\]
उत्तर
Among halogens, the correct order of amount of energy released in electron gain (electron gain enthalpy) is \[\ce{F < Cl > Br > I}\].
Explanation:
Chlorine has higher electron gain enthalpy than fluorine. This is due to small size of fluorine atom, i.e., the electron density is high which resists the addition of an electron \[\ce{(F < Cl)}\].
In general, electron gain enthalpy decreases as atomic size increases. Thus, electron gain enthalpy follows the order \[\ce{Cl > Br > I}\]

What is the significance of the terms - ‘isolated gaseous atom’ and ‘ground state’ while defining the ionization enthalpy and electron gain enthalpy?
Hint: Requirements for comparison purposes.
Would you expect the second electron gain enthalpy of O as positive, more negative or less negative than the first? Justify your answer.
The formation of the oxide ion, \[\ce{O2- (g)}\], from oxygen atom requires first an exothermic and then an endothermic step as shown below:
\[\ce{O (g) + e- -> O- (g) ; ∆H^Θ = - 14 kJ mol^{-1}}\]
\[\ce{O- (g) + e- -> O^{2-} (g) ; ∆H^Θ = + 780 kJ mol^{-1}}\]
Thus process of formation of \[\ce{O^{2-}}\] in gas phase is unfavourable even though \[\ce{O^{2-}}\] is isoelectronic with neon. It is due to the fact that,

Assertion (A): Boron has a smaller first ionisation enthalpy than beryllium.
Reason (R): The penetration of a 2s electron to the nucleus is more than the 2p electron hence 2p electron is more shielded by the inner core of electrons than the 2s electrons.
