  • question_answer
    The electron affinity values (in kJ\[mo{{l}^{-1}}\]) of three halogens X, Y, Z are respectively -349, -333 and -325.  Then X, Y and Z respectively are

    A)  \[{{F}_{2}},\,C{{l}_{2}}\]and\[B{{r}_{2}}\]            

    B)  \[C{{l}_{2}},\,{{F}_{2}}\]and\[B{{r}_{2}}\]

    C)  \[C{{l}_{2}},\,B{{r}_{2}}\]and\[{{F}_{2}}\]            

    D)  \[B{{r}_{2}},\,C{{l}_{2}}\]and\[{{F}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    Electron affinity (in kJ \[\text{mo}{{\text{l}}^{\text{-1}}}\]) of F = 332.6, Cl = 348.5, Br = 324.7 and I = 295.5. Chlorine has highest electron affinity value, So, according to question the correct order will be\[C{{l}_{2}}>{{F}_{2}}>B{{r}_{2}}\].
