Basic Periodicity Doubt

They have given enthalpy=602 and first electron affinity=-enthalpy=-141. So shouldn't (based on the data given), the second electron affinity be -462?

Can you elaborate?

hold on a sec lemme confirm if my logic is right ahh wait a sec the energy req to remove both the e is 603 and the energy needed to add one e is 141

Remove both electrons??

yh it should be d weird its o2-

It's starting from O Anyways, I also got d This is weird

Ig they put affinity instead of enthalpy for removal of 1e-

wait a sec we hve to turn o- to 02- here

It should be EGE yeah, because it's going to become more stable. So proceeds via loss of energy

so both will be added na? so tht way it should be a to add 2 e in O the energy is 603 and to add one is 141 but to go from O- to O2- we have to add na both enthaply

That gives this, I think.

are 141 minus me hai usko rearrnge karoge to + hogs.

Shouldn't it be like affinity is -141, so enthalpy would be - of that?
