Fluorine has the highest electronegativity among the ns2 np5 group on the Pauling scale, but the electron affinity of fluorine is less than that of chlorine because-
The atomic number of fluorine is less than that of chlorine.
Fluorine being the first member of the family behaves in an unusual manner.
Chlorine can accommodate an electron better than fluorine by utilizing its vacant 3d=orbital.
Small size, high electron density and an increased electron repulsion makes addition of an electron to fluorine less favourable than that in the case of chlorine.
Among halogens, the correct order of amount of energy released in electron gain is?
- Cl > F > Br > I > Ar
- F > Cl > Br > I > Ar
- Ar > F > I > Br > Cl
- Ar > Cl > Br > I > F
- less negative
- more negative
- more positive
On moving across a period, the atomic size decreases and nuclear charge increases and therefore the force of attraction exerted by the nucleus on the electron in the outermost shell increases.
For the process
A(g)+e−→A−(g); ΔH=xand A−(g)→A(g)+e−; ΔH=y
Select correct alternate:
Ionization energy of A−(g) is y
Electron affinity of A(g) is x
Electron affinity of A(g) is -y
All are correct statements
