Given below are two statements:
Statement I: The correct order of first ionization enthalpy values of Li, Na, F and Cl is Na < Li < Cl < F.
Statement II: The correct order of negative electron gain enthalpy values of Li, Na, F and Cl is Na < Li < F < CI
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below : [2024]
(1)
Statement (l): Ionization energy decreases down the group and increases from left to right across a period. Hence order is
Statement (II): Electron affinity decreases (or electron gain enthalpy becomes less negative) down the group and increases (or electron gain enthalpy becomes more negative) from left to right across a period. But electron gain enthalpy of F is less negative than that of Cl. This is because due to small size of F, incoming electron,feels significant repulsion from other electrons. So, the order is
