Answer

Please see the work below.

Work Step by Step

According to thermodynamic conventions energy absorbed by a system is denoted by a positive sign, and energy released is denoted by a negative sign. Electron affinity is defined as the energy released when an electron is added to a neutral gaseous atom. It can be either positive or negative. Ionization energy is the energy required to remove an electron from a neutral gaseous atom. The electron removal takes place by the absorption of energy. (a) The electron affinity of $S^{-}$. $S^{-}_{(g)} + e^{-} → S^{2-}_{(g)} $ The electron affinity of $S^{-}$ is a negative value. (b) The third ionization energy of titanium. $Ti^{2+}_{(g)} → Ti^{3+}_{(g)} + e^{-} $ The ionization enthalpy value of $Ti^{2+}$ is positive. (c) The electron affinity of $Mg^{2+}$. $Mg^{2+}_{(g)} + e^{-} → Mg^{+}_{(g)} $ The electron affinity of $Mg^{2+}$ is a negative value. (d) The ionization energy of $O^{2-}$. $O^{2-}_{(g)} → O^{-}_{(g)} + e^{-} $ The ionization enthalpy value of $O^{2-}$ is positive.
