Fluorine is a stronger oxidising agent than chlorine because :

(a) F-F bond has a low enthalpy of dissociation.

(b) Fluoride ion (F^$$-$$) has high hydration enthalpy.

(c) Electron gain enthalpy of fluorine is less negative than chlorine.

(d) Fluorine has a very small size.

Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given :

If first ionization enthalpies of elements X and Y are 419 kJ mol^$$-$$1 and 590 kJ mol^$$-$$1, respectively and second ionization enthalpies of X and Y are 3069 kJ mol^$$-$$1 and 1145 kJ mol^$$-$$1, respectively. Then correct statement is :

The IUPAC name of an element with atomic number 119 is

Gadolinium has a low value of third ionisation enthalpy because of
