Few values of enthalpies are given below :
$$\eqalign{
& O = - 141\,kJ\,mo{l^{ - 1}} \cr
& F = - 328\,kJ\,mo{l^{ - 1}} \cr
& S = - 200\,kJ\,mo{l^{ - 1}} \cr
& Cl = - 349\,kJ\,mo{l^{ - 1}} \cr} $$
What do these values show?
A.
Ionisation enthalpy
B.
Bond enthalpy
C.
Electron gain enthalpy
D.
Hydration enthalpy
Answer :
Electron gain enthalpy
Solution :
Negative value of electron gain enthalpy of $$S$$ is more than that of oxygen and for $$Cl$$ it is more than that of fluorine.
