Or The value of electron gain enthaply with negative sign for sulphur is higher than that of oxygen.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine why the electron gain enthalpy of sulfur is more negative than that of oxygen, we can analyze the factors influencing electron gain enthalpy for both elements. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Electron Gain Enthalpy**: - Electron gain enthalpy is defined as the amount of energy released when an electron is added to a neutral gaseous atom. A more negative value indicates a greater tendency to gain an electron. 2. **Group 16 Elements**: ...
