which one is have more negative electron gain enthalpy cl or f?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

F

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why

OpenStudy (callisto):

It's more electronegative.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

plzz read the question now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

florine its elecronegtivity value is 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok why? because nucleus pull on fl is much more than cl so traonger the nucleus pull more affinity for electron .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry, i did this a long time ago..... i dont know the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

stronger*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but u see @sami-21 my book says it is cl

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont knw the reason...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And I believe this should be posted in chemistry forum.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh...no....sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry i thought you are asking about attraction for electron you need 'electron gain enthalpy' fl has less electron gain enthalpy than cl

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

becasue it needs lesser energy to accommodate new electron

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did nt understand
