The electron affinities of halogens are:...

The electron affinities of halogens are: F=332, CI =439, Br=324, I=295 kJ `mol^(-1)`. The higher value for Cl as compared to that of F is due to

A

Higher atomic radius of F

B

Smaller electronegativity of F

C

Weaker electron-electron repulsion in Cl

D

More vacant p-subshell in Cl

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Due to larger atomic size of Cl, there is weaker electron-electron repulsion.

The correct order of electron affinity of F, Cl, Br and I is

The bond dissociation energy of B-F in BF_3 is 646 kJ mol^(-1) , whereas that of C-F in CF_4 is 515 kJ mol^(-1) . The correct reason for higher B-F bond dissociation energy as compared to that of C-F is the : smaller size of B atom as compared to that of C atom.; stronger sigma bond between B and F in BF_3 as compared to that between C and F in CF_4 ; significant p pi-p pi interactions between B and F in BF_3 , whereas there is no possibility of such interaction between C and F in CF_4 ; lower degree of p pi-p pi interactions between B and F in BF_3 than that between C and F in CF_4
