MCQ
The value of $2^{nd}$ $e^-$ gain enthalpy for $O$ and $S$ will be (in $KJ / mole$)
  • A
    $+ 590, + 780$
  • B
    $-590, -780$
  • $+ 780, + 590$
  • D
    $-780, -590$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$+ 780, + 590$
c
The second electron gain enthalpies (in $k J / m o l$ ) of oxygen and sulphur respectively are +780 and $+590 .$

Both are positive as they attain noble gas configuration after gaining two electrons.
