Why oxygen has less negative electron gain enthalpy than sulphur

Answered by admin @




Hey user...

_________________________________

So, due to smaller size the inter-electronic repulsion in compact 2p-orbitals of oxygenis much more than the repulsion in 3p-orbitals of sulphur hence, the incoming newelectron feels less attraction in oxygen and more attraction in sulphur due to which the addition becomes easy and so electron gain enthalpy becomes ...


hope this helps u..
