41.(D) Electron gain enthalpy becomes less negative from top to bottom in a group while it becomes more negative
from left to right within a period.

43.(A) Na  Na   e  ; H  5.1 eV ; Na   e   Na ; H   5.1 eV .

44.(A) In going left to right across a period in the periodic table, the basicity (i.e. proton affinity) decreases as the
electronegativity of the atom possessing the lone pair of electrons increases. Hence basicity of NH 2 is higher
than F . In moving down in a group, as the atomic mass increases, basicity decreases. Hence F is more basic
than I and HO  is more basic than HS . Hence among the given ionic species, NH 2 has maximum proton
affinity.

Bond dissociation energy(kcal / mol) 38 57 45.5 35.6

The lower value of bond dissociation energy of fluorine is due to the high inter-electronic repulsion between
non-bonding electrons in the 2p-orbitals of fluorine. As a result F  F bonds is weaker in comparison to Cl  Cl
and Br  Br bonds.
46.(B) Amongst isoelectronic ions, ionic radii of anions is more than that of cations. Further size of the anion increases
