QJEEM22Ch9d44: JEE Main 2022 Chemistry - Class 11 JEEM22Ch9d44 Solution: The correct order of electron gain enthalpies of Cl, F, Te and…
The correct order of electron gain enthalpies of Cl, F, Te and Po is
Multiple Choice Options
- A F < Cl < Te < Po
- B Po < Te < F < Cl
- C Te < Po < Cl < F
- D Cl < F < Te < Po
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
Te → –190 kJ mol–1
Po → –174 kJ mol–1
F → –333 kJ mol–1
Cl → –349 kJ mol–1
Hence, correct order is Cl > F > Te > Po
Po → –174 kJ mol–1
F → –333 kJ mol–1
Cl → –349 kJ mol–1
Hence, correct order is Cl > F > Te > Po
