MCQ
The process requiring the absorptionof energy is
  • A
    $F \to {F^ - }$
  • B
    $H \to {H^ - }$
  • C
    $Cl \to {Cl^ - }$
  • $O \to {O^ {2-} }$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$O \to {O^ {2-} }$
d
Second electron affinity is zero for an element since already added electron repels existing electrons. Hence, it becomes difficult for an atom to take up another electron.

Therefore, the process $O ^{-} \rightarrow O ^{2-}$ requires energy.
