[QUOTE="Sriram, post: 2406823, member: 567983"] It generally decreases down the group ( becomes more +ve) due to an increase in the size of the atoms of the elements. On moving across a group however, it becomes more -ve , since the nucleus charge increases, pulling more electrons towards it. Noble gases have highly +ve electron gain enthalpies since they are already very stable. [/QUOTE]
