Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

EASY
Within each pair of elements F and Cl , S and Se , and Liand Na , respectively, the elements that release more energy upon an electron gain are
MEDIUM

Which of the following reactions does not involve absorption of energy?

I. Og+e-O-g

II. Sg+e-S-g

III. O-g+e-O2-g

IV. Clg+e-Cl-g

EASY
The formation of the oxide ion, O2-(g) , from oxygen atom requires first an exothermic and then an endothermic step as shown in below:

Og+e-O-g   ;  ΔfH=-141 kJ mol-1

O-g+e-O2- g ;  ΔfH=+780 kJ mol-1

Thus process of formation of O2- in gas phase is unfavourable though O2- is isoelectronic with neon. It is due to the fact that,
