What is the correct order of electron gain enthalpy from least negative to most negative for the elements and ?

  1. A
  2. B
  3. C
  4. D

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Electron gain enthalpy generally becomes more negative across a period (left to right) and less negative down a group. (Group 2): Has a stable configuration, very low tendency to gain an electron. Least negative. (Group 13): Metal, less negative than non-metals. (Group 14): Non-metal. (Group 16): Highly electronegative. (Group 17): Halogen, needs only one electron to complete octet. Most negative.Order: .
