Using the data: , , , (first electron gain enthalpies), select the correct statements.

  1. AThe difference between and is
  2. BEnergy released when 2 mol of atoms each gain an electron is 656 kJ
  3. C releases more energy than
  4. DThe value for is more than 3 times that of

Answer: A, B, C

S (200) > O (141). 349 - 328 = 21. 2 x 328 = 656. The ratio 328/141 = 2.33, less than 3, so the last statement is false.
