Solution

The correct options are
B Ne(g)+e(g)Ne(g)
C N(g)+e(g)N(g)
The following are examples of endothermic reactions. They have a positive value of electron gain enthalpy and energy is absorbed when an electron is added to the atom.
Ne(g)+e(g)Ne(g)
N(g)+e(g)N(g)
The following is an example of an exothermic reaction. They have a negative value of electron gain enthalpy and energy is released when an electron is added to the atom.
