Q7 of 59 Page 27

Among halogens, the correct order of amount of energy released in electron gain (electron gain enthalpy) is:

As we go down a group electron gain enthalpy decreases but in case of chlorine and fluorine, fluorine has a smaller size due to which it faces inter electronic repulsions. So, electron gain enthalpy of fluorine is less than that of chlorine.
