CBSE Class 11-science Answered

electron gain enthalpy of chlorine is more than that of flourine

Dear Student
 
The size of fluorine atom is small. As a result, there are strong electron-electron repulsions in the compact 2p-orbital. Thus, the electron gain enthalpy of fluorine is less negative than that of chlorine.
 
 
The p orbital is slightly higher in energy than the s orbital. So, it's easier to remove the 2p1 elecrtron from B, therefore the 1st ionisation energy in B will be lower.
 
We hope that clarifies your query.
