Within each pair of elements of \(F\;and \;Cl\) , \(S\;and \;Se\), and \(Li\;and \;Na\), respectively, the elements that release more energy upon an electron gain are

  1. A \(F, Se\) and \(Na\)
  2. B \(F, S\) and \(Li\)
  3. C \(Cl, S\) and \(Li\)
  4. D \(Cl, Se\) and \(Na\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(Cl, S\) and \(Li\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(i) Electron affinity of second period \(p-\)block element is less than third period \(p-\)block element due to small size of second period \(p-\)block element. \(E.A.\) order : \(F < Cl\) (ii) Down the group electron affinity decreases due to size increases. \(EA.\) order :…
