The equation used to represents the electron gain enthalpy is

  1. A \(X(g)+e^{-} \longrightarrow X^{-}(g)\)
  2. B \(X(s)+e^{-} \longrightarrow X^{-}(g)\)
  3. C \(X(g) \longrightarrow X^{+}(g)+e^{-}\)
  4. D \(X(s) \longrightarrow X^{+}(g)+e^{-}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(X(g)+e^{-} \longrightarrow X^{-}(g)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

When an electron is added to a gaseous atom in its ground state to convert it into a negative ion, the enthalpy change accompanying the process is called electron gain enthalpy \(\left(\Delta e_g H\right)\). It is a direct measure of the ease with which an atom attracts an…
