$C$. $\mathrm{O} \rightarrow \mathrm{O}^{2-}$

$D$. $\mathrm{Na} \rightarrow \mathrm{Na}^{-}$

$E$. $\mathrm{Al} \rightarrow \mathrm{Al}^{-}$

Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

  • A
    $D$ and $E$ only
  • B
    $A$, B, $D$ and E only
  • C
    $A$ and $D$ only
  • $A$, $B$ and $C$ only

Answer

Correct option: D.
$A$, $B$ and $C$ only
d
$(A)$ $\mathrm{Be}+\mathrm{e}^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{Be}^{-}, \quad$ E.A $=$-ive

$(B)$ $\mathrm{N}+\mathrm{e}^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{N}^{-} \quad$ E.A $=-$ ive

$(C)$ $\mathrm{O}+\mathrm{e}^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{O}^{-}$

$\mathrm{O}^{-}+\mathrm{e}^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{O}^{-2} \quad$ E.A $=-$ ive

$(D)$ $\mathrm{Na}+\mathrm{e}^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{Na}^{-} \quad$ E.A $=+$ ive

$(E)$ $\mathrm{A} \ell+\mathrm{e}^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{A} \ell^{-} \quad$ E.A $=+$ ive

Ans. $A,B$ and $C$ only
