Question

$\text{Electron gain enthalpy}\alpha \frac{1}{\text{Atomic size}}$

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

Atomic size: In general electron gain enthalpy value becomes decreases with an increase in atomic radius because the electrostatic force of attraction decreases between the electron being added and the atomic nucleus due to the increase of distance between them

$\text{Electron gain enthalpy}\alpha \frac{1}{\text{Atomic size}}$
