  1. A \(\mathrm{Cl} < \mathrm{N} < \mathrm{O} < \mathrm{Al}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{Al} < \mathrm{N} < \mathrm{O} < \mathrm{Cl}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{O} < \mathrm{N} < \mathrm{Al} < \mathrm{Cl}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{N} < \mathrm{O} < \mathrm{Cl} < \mathrm{Al}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\mathrm{Al} < \mathrm{N} < \mathrm{O} < \mathrm{Cl}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Correct order of electron gain enthalpy:- \(\mathrm{Al} < \mathrm{N} < \mathrm{O} < \mathrm{Cl}\) It is higher for non-metallic elements that have higher electronegativities (higher in magnitude)
