Among halogens, the correct order of amount of energy released in electron gain is?
F>Cl>Br>I
F<Cl>Br>I
F>Br>Cl>I
I>Cl>Br>F
Explanation for the correct option
Option B: F<Cl>Br>I
Electron gain enthalpy
Electron gain enthalpy down the group
Hence, option B: F<Cl>Br>I is the correct answer.
Among halogens, the correct order of amount of energy released in electron gain (electron gain enthalpy ) is (a) F > Cl > Br > I (b) F < Cl < Br < I (c) F < Cl > Br > I (d) F < Cl < Br < I
