Energy is released when an electron is added to neutral isolated gaseous atom in its ground state to give monoanion and this is known as `EA`, or `Delta_(eg)H_(1)^(ɵ)`. The greater the amount of energy released the greater is the `EA`. `EA` is expressed in `eV a"atom"^(-1)` or `kcal or KkJ mol^(-1)`. `EA` values of `N` and `P` are exceptionally low, becauseA. Both `N` and `P` have half-filled `p`-orbitals in the valence shell.B. The atom is more stable than the corresponding anoin.C. The electronic configuration of the anoin `N^(ɵ)` and `P^(ɵ)` is relatively more stable than the corresponding atom.D. Both (b) and C. |
