(a) Halogens have maximum negative gain enthalpy in the respective periods of the periodic table. Why? (b) Although electron gain enthalpy of fluorine is less negative as compared to chlorine, fluorine is a stronger oxidising agent than chlorine . Why? Fluorine exhibits only-1 oxidation state, wherease other hlaogens exhibit +1,+3,+5, and +7 oxidation states also. explain.

Assertion : The electron gain enthalpy of chlorine is less negative than that of fluorine. Reason : The fluorine atom is much smaller in size than that of chlorine.

(A): Electron affinity of fluorine is lower than that of chlorine (R): Fluorine has small and compact size and stronger inter electron repulsion than chlorine.
