The correct sequence of electron gain enthalpy of the elements listed below is A. Ar B. Br C. F D. S Choose the most appropriate from the options given below:

Solution & Explanation

### Core Logic Electron gain enthalpy (Delta_egH) values are considered with their signs when ordering from largest to smallest algebraically.
ElementDelta_egH text (kJ/mol)
F-333
S-200
Br-325
Ar+96
Arranging these algebraically from highest to lowest: +96 > -200 > -325 > -333 Thus, Ar > S > Br > F, which corresponds to A > D > B > C. ### Pattern Recognition Noble gases always have positive electron gain enthalpies (highest algebraically). Halogens have highly negative values (lowest algebraically). Fluorine is highly negative, Bromine is slightly less negative. Sulfur sits in between. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Classification of Elements and Periodicity in Properties
