Solution
The correct option is D II and III I.S−(g)→S−2(g)
The second electron affinity is positive and hence is endothermic. II.Na+(g)+Cl−(g)→NaCl(s)+energy
Since the process released energy, it is exothermic in nature III.N(g)Morestable→N−+energy(g)Lessstable
Since energy is released in this process, so it is exothermic in nature. IV.Al2+(g)→Al3+(g)
This is an ionisation of Al2+(g) to Al3+(g) and is endothermic in nature
