Solution

The correct options are
A liberation of energy
B formation of anion
C proton/electron ratio decrease
Adding electron a neutral gaseous atom usually leads to :-
(A) Liberation of energy. The liberated energy is named as electron gain enthalpy.
(B) Formation of anion as the ion acquires negative charge due to excess of electrons.
(C) Proton/electron ratio decrease. In neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons.
When an electron is added, the number of electrons exceeds the number of protons.
