Answer:
Variation along a Period
As we move across a period from left to right the atomic size decreases and the nuclear charge increases. Both these factors tend to increase the attraction by the nucleus for the incoming electron. Hence, electron gain enthalpy becomes more and more negative in a period from left to right.
