  1. A F>S>O>N
  2. B F>O>S>N
  3. C F>O>N>S
  4. D F>N>O>S
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) F>S>O>N

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We know that the electron gain enthalpy increases from left to right and decreases from top to bottom. So here, Fluorine has maximum electron gain enthalpy. Now in 2nd period size of elements are too small so inter-electronic repulsion is maximum and due to this reason it is…
