Dicuss the factors on which electron gain enthalpy depends
  • 2 answers

Yogita Ingle 6 years, 5 months ago

Factors on which electron gain enthalpy depends:
Atomic size.  As the size of an atom increases, the distance between its nucleus and the incoming electron also increases. Therefore, the force of attraction between the nucleus and the incoming electron decreases and hence the electron gain enthalpy becomes less negative.
Nuclear charge. As the nuclear charge increases force of attraction for the incoming electron increases and thus electron gain enthalpy becomes more negative.
Symmetry of electronic configuration. Elements having symmetrical configuration (Either half filled or fully filled orbitals in the same sub shell)  having no attraction for electron because by accepting electron their configuration becomes less stable. In that case energy has to be supplied to accept electron. Thus electron gain enthalpy will be positive.
