Name the most electronegative element. Is it also having the highest electron gain enthalpy? Why or why not?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The most electronegative element is fluorine (F)
`rarr` It doesnot have high electron gain enthalpy
Reason: `rarr` Due to small size
`rarr` Due to high inter electronic repulsions.
* Chlorine has high electron gain enthalpy.
