The process requiring the absorption of energy is

Correct order of electron affinity for $C$,$Si$,and $Ge$ is

In which of the following processes is energy absorbed?

The electron affinity values of elements $A, B, C$ and $D$ are respectively $-135, -60, -200$ and $-348 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$. The outer electronic configuration of element $B$ is

For electron gain enthalpies of the elements denoted as $\Delta_{eg} H$,the incorrect option is :

The formation of oxide ion $O^{2-}$ from oxygen atom requires an exothermic reaction,followed by an endothermic step as shown below. The process of formation of $O^{2-}$ in gas phase is unfavorable $(\Delta H^{\ominus} = +ve)$,even though it has the stable configuration of the nearest noble gas neon. This is because:
$O_{(g)} + e^{-} \longrightarrow O^{-}_{(g)} ; \Delta H^{\ominus} = -141 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$
$O^{-}_{(g)} + e^{-} \longrightarrow O^{2-}_{(g)} ; \Delta H^{\ominus} = +760 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$
