The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the correctness of the statements provided, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step 1: Analyze the first statement **Statement 1:** "The second electron gain enthalpy is always endothermic." - **Explanation:** The second electron gain enthalpy refers to the energy change when an electron is added to a negatively charged ion. For example, in the case of oxygen: - The first electron gain enthalpy (O + e⁻ → O⁻) is exothermic, with a value of -141 kJ/mol, indicating energy is released. - The second electron gain enthalpy (O⁻ + e⁻ → O²⁻) is endothermic, with a value of +780 kJ/mol, indicating energy is absorbed due to increased electron-electron repulsion. Thus, this statement is **correct**. ### Step 2: Analyze the second statement **Statement 2:** "Electronegativity is the property of a bonding of atoms." - **Explanation:** Electronegativity is defined as the tendency of an atom to attract shared electrons in a chemical bond. It is indeed a property that describes how atoms interact in a bond, such as in H₂ (where electrons are shared equally) versus HCl (where electrons are pulled closer to Cl due to its higher electronegativity). Thus, this statement is also **correct**. ### Step 3: Analyze the third statement **Statement 3:** "Al₂O₃ and BeO are amphoteric in nature." - **Explanation:** Amphoteric oxides can react with both acids and bases. - Al₂O₃ reacts with acids (like HCl) to form AlCl₃ and with bases (like NaOH) to form sodium aluminate. - BeO also reacts with acids (forming BeCl₂) and bases (forming beryllium hydroxide). Both oxides exhibit amphoteric behavior, making this statement **correct**. ### Step 4: Analyze the fourth statement **Statement 4:** "All the above statements are correct." - Since we have established that statements 1, 2, and 3 are all correct, this statement is also **correct**. ### Conclusion All statements provided in the question are correct. Therefore, the answer is: **Correct statements among the following are: 1, 2, 3, and 4.**
