For general ionic compounds, choose the correct characteristics
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Cations derived from metallic elements and anions from non‐metallic elements

Assertion(A) Electron gain enthalpy of oxygen is less than that of fluorine but greater than that of nitrogen.

Reason(R) Ionisation enthalpy is as follows: N>O>F{N}>{O}>{F}
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
If (A) is correct and (R) is incorrect.
The correct answer is C (If (A) is correct and (R) is incorrect) because electron gain enthalpy of oxygen is less negative than fluorine but more negative than nitrogen, and the ionization enthalpy order is incorrect.
