Detailed Solution
As we move from Cl to I, the electron gain enthalpy (i.e. energy released in electron gain) become less and less negative due to a corresponding increase in the atomic size. However, the electron gain enthalpy of F is less negative than that of Cl due to its small size. Thus, the negative electron gain enthalpy follows the order, F < Cl > Br > l
