Trends in Electron Gain Enthalpy
Asked by Aaradhya Kapoor · 2 years ago
What is the trend of electron gain enthalpy across a period and down a group in the periodic table?

Electron gain enthalpy generally becomes more negative across a period from left to right due to increasing nuclear charge. Down a group, it becomes less negative due to increasing atomic size and shielding effect.
