Assertion: F atom has less negative elec...

Assertion: `F` atom has less negative electron gain enthaply than `Cl` atom.
Reason: Additional eletrons are repelled more effectively by 3 p-electronic in `Cl` than by `2` p-electrons is `F` atom.

A

Statement-I is true, Statement-II is true ,Statement -II is the correct explanation for Statement-I

B

Statement-I is true ,Statement -II is true, Statement -II is not the correct explanation for statement -II

C

Statement-I is true. Statement -II is false.

D

Statement-I is false. Statement -II is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Statement II is incorrect. In general, the electron affinity decreases down the group but the electron affinity for chlorine is more than that for fluorine, and similarly the electron affinity for sulphur is more than that for oxygen because in F and S, due to very small size of the atom. The are strong electron-electron repulsion in the relatively small `2p` orbitals of F and thus, the incoming electron does not experience much attraction. Hence, the incoming electron is not added easily as it is added in large `3p` orbital of Cl.
Consequently, the `Delta_(eg)H^(ɵ)` or EA of F is less negative than that of Cl.
