Electron gain enthalpy is F is less negative than Cl Why ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When an electron is added to F, the added electron to the L shell (n=2). As the .L. shell possess smaller region of space, the added electron feels significant repulsion from the other electrons present in this level.
E.A of F = -328 KJ `mol e^(-1)`
E.A of CI=-349 KJ `mol e^(-1)`
