Which of the following is affected by the stable electron configuration of an atom?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
The addition of extra electron is difficult to the atom having stable configuration and so electron gain enthalpy will be positive. Similarly, the removal of electron is quite difficult from stable configuration and so ionization enthalpy is higher. However, EN remains unaffected because it neither involves gain nor loss of electron.
