QUESTION:
Arrange the elements in each of the following groups in increasing order of the most positive electron affinity:
(a) Li, Na, K
(b) F, Cl, Br, I
(c) O, Si, P, Ca, Ba
ANSWER:Step 1 of 4
Here, we write the increasing order of the electron affinity for the given elements.
The property in which ability to accept one or more electrons are called electron affinity.
And which is the negative of the energy change that occurs when an electron is accepted
by an atom in the gaseous state to form an anion.
.
The usual trend of increased electron affinity as we move along a period from left to right.
