Explain the following:
Electron gain enthalpy of chlorine is more negative as compared to fluorine.

उत्तर
Due to small size, the electron-electron repulsions in the relatively compact 2p-subshell of F are quite strong and hence the incoming electron is not accepted with the same ease as in case of bigger Cl atom where repulsions are comparatively weak. Thus, electron gain enthalpy of chlorine is more negative as compared to that of fluorine.

Aluminium dissolves in mineral acids and aqueous alkalies and thus shows amphoteric character.
