Classification Of Elements And Periodicity In Properties

Question
CBSEENCH11005518
Wired Faculty App

Why do halogens have very higher value of electron gain enthalpy?

Solution
This is due to the fact that halogens have the general electronic configuration of ns2np5 and have only one electron less than the stable noble gas (ns2np6) configuration. In order to acquire the noble gas configuration, halogens have a very strong tendency to accept an additional electron and their electron gain enthalpies become more negative.
