When the first electron gain enthalpy of oxygen is 141 kJ/mol, its second electron gain enthalpy is :
Multiple Choice Options
- A a more negative value than the first
- B almost the same as that of the first
- C negative, but less negative than the first
- D a positive value
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
Second electron gain enthalpy is always positive for every element.
O (g) + e O 2(g) ; H = positive
O
