Question

electron gain enthalpy increases down the group​

Answer 1

Answer:

The electron gain enthalpy becomes less negative as we move down a group. As we move down a group, both the atomic size and the nuclear charge increases. ... With the increase in atomic size, the attraction of the nucleus for the incoming electron decreases. Hence, the electron gain enthalpy becomes less negative.

Answer 2

No. ELECTRON GAIN ENTHALPY DECREASES DOWN THE GROUP AS DOWN THE GROUP ELEMENTS LIKE TO LOSE ELECTRONS AND BE STABLE RATHER THAN GAIN ELECTRONS . IT DECREASES DOWN THE GROUP
