Question -
The ionization energy of F− is 320 kJ/mole. The electron gain enthalpy of fluorine would be?
Options:
A .  -320 kJ/mole
B .  -160 kJ/mole
C .  320 kJ/mole
D .  160 kJ/mole
Answer: Option A : A Ionization enthalpy is exactly opposite to electron gain enthalpy in this case. If you are talking about ionization enthalpy of F and electron gain enthalpy of F, then we can't say the same thing. F−⟶ F + e−ΔH=320kJ/mole(I.E) F+e−⟶F−ΔH=−320kJ/mole(I.E)
