Question

Hydrogen resembles halogens in many respects
for which several factors are responsible. Of the
following factors which one is most important in
this respect?
(a) Its tendency to lose an electron to form a
cation.
(b) Its tendency to gain a single electron in its
valence shell to attain stable electronic
configuration.
(c) Its low negative electron gain enthalpy
value.
(d) Its small size.

Answer 1

Answer:

Heyaa✌️✌️

Your right answer is :- b)

Here is the information:-

Hydrogen resembles halogens as it has similar tendency to gain a single electron to attain stable noble gas configuration. The electronic configuration of hydrogen is 1s1.

It needs one more electron to attain stable electronic configuration of hellium, a noble gas. The electronic configuration of halogen is ns2np5. It needs one more electron to attain stable electronic configuration of a noble gas.

Hope it helped you.
