The electron gain enthalpies of halogens in kJ mol^-1 are given below.

F =-332, Cl =-349, Br =-325, I =-295.

The lesser negative value for F as compared to that of Cl is due to:
 

1. Strong electron-electron repulsions in the compact 2p-subshell of F.

2. Weak electron-electron repulsions in the bigger 3p-subshell of Cl.

3. Smaller electronegativity value of F than Cl.

4. 1 & 2 both
