Assign reasons for the following:
The negative value of electron gain enthalpy of fluorine is less than that of chlorine.
Fluorene has low electron gain – enthalpy than chlorine due to its small size and high electron density so that the addition of any extra-electron increases electron-electron repulsion. on other hand chlorine is larger in size and also have d orbital , so it easliy accomodate extra electron.
