Question

Chlorine has larger negative value of electron gain enthalpy than
fluorine, why?
please answer quick

Answer 1

Answer:

heeyya

Explanation:

Because of more affinity towards electron.

Answer 2

hey it's your ans-

1) Electron gain enthalpy is defined as the amount of energy released when an electron is added to the outermost shell of an atom.

2) It is exothermic in nature.

3) As the electron gain enthalpy increses, stability of anion also increases.

4) Electron gain enthalpy is inversely depend on size of atom and the size of chlorine is more than fluorine.

5) So, it is due to small size of fluorine atom. As, there are strong inter electron repulsion in the relatively small 2P orbits of fluorine and thus, the incoming electron does not experience much attraction. Therefore chlorine has the electron gain enthalpy than the fluorine.
