Halogens have maximum negative electron ...

Halogens have maximum negative electron gain enthalpy in the respective periods of the periodic table. Why ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Halogens have smallest size and high effective nuclear charge. They readily accept one electron to acquire noble gas electronic configuration. So they have maximum electron gain enthalpy.
