Explain why the electron gain enthalpy of fluorine is less negative than that of chlorine?
Electron gain enthalply of F is less negative than that of Cl because when an electron is added to $F$, the added electron goes to the smaller $n=2$ quantum level and suffers repulsion from other electrons present in this level.
In case of Cl , the added electron goes to the larger $n=3$ quantum level and suffers much less repulsion from other electrons.
