In a period, the first ionisation enthalpy of the element at extreme left and the negative electron gain enthalpy of the extreme right element, except noble gases, are respectively.

  1. lowest and lowest
  2. highest and lowest
  3. lowest and highest
  4. highest and highest

Answer

(3) lowest and highest

Solution

Extreme left of a period: alkali metal (one electron outside a noble-gas core, largest atom of the period)

⇒ lowest first ionisation enthalpy in the period

Extreme right (except noble gas): halogen (needs one electron to complete the octet, small size, high Zeff)

⇒ most negative electron gain enthalpy, i.e. the highest negative electron gain enthalpy

∴ lowest and highest

Answer: (3)
