Question

carbon has electron gain enthalpy(electron affinity) is higher than that of nitrogen.

Answer 1

The electron gain enthalpy of carbon is more than that of nitrogen because the atom of carbon is very small in size due to which the electrons of the carbon are held tightly by the nucleus due to the electrostatic force of attraction and so we can say that the carbon has high electron gain enthalpy.
