Electronegativity is the measure of pull one atom has on another. Electron affinity is the amount of energy that is released when a neutral atom gains an electron.
What else can I help you with?
Does Iodine have less electron affinity than fluorine?
Yes. It's true. Chlorine has the highest electron affinity, then Fluorine, Bromine and Iodine
Which has a greater electron affinity fluorine or bromine?
Fluorine has greater electron affinity than bromine, or any other element.
Do nonmetals have always higher electron affinity than metals?
No, nonmetals do not always have higher electron affinity than metals. Electron affinity depends on the specific element and its position in the periodic table. Some metals can have higher electron affinities than certain nonmetals.
What element has no electron affinity?
Helium has no electron affinity.
Which has the lower electron affinity germanium or selenium?
Selenium has a lower electron affinity than germanium. Electron affinity is the energy released when an atom gains an electron to form a negative ion. In general, electron affinity tends to decrease as you move down a group in the periodic table, which is why selenium has a lower electron affinity than germanium.
Why does chlorine have more electron affinity than fluorine although it is below fluorine in periodic table?
Generally electron affinity goes up as you go from left to right across the periodic table, and decreases as you go down a column. However, fluorine is an exception -- and the element with the highest electron affinity is chlorine.(Note that the most electronegative element is fluorine however; 'electronegativity' is not exactly the same as 'electron affinity'.)Electronegativity is the ability of an atom in a molecule to draw bonding electrons to itselfElectron affinity is a measure of the energy change when an electron is added to a neutral atom to form a negative ion.The reason that the electron affinity is not as high as might otherwise be predicted for fluorine, is that it is an extremely small atom, and so it's electron density is very high. Adding an additional electron is therefore not quite as favorable as for an element like chlorine where the electron density is slightly lower (due to electron-electron repulsion between the added electron and the other electrons in the electron cloud).
What is an electron's electron affinity?
chloline
Electron affinity tends to what?
Electron affinity is an elements' ability to attract electrons and is variable for each element. Generally the more electronegative atoms are furthest to the right bottom of the periodic table and ascending to the left the elements lose their electron accepting ability.
Is the electron affinity of germanium high or low?
The electron affinity of germanium is considered to be moderate. Germanium is a metalloid element with an electron affinity that falls between that of metals and nonmetals.
Definition of electron affinity?
The energy change that occurs when an electron is added to a neutral atom. This is usually exothermic. Noble Gases are excluded from this. Equation: X(element)+e-(electron)---------> X-1+ energy
Which has higher eleetron affinity between nitrogen and carbon?
Nitrogen has a higher electron affinity than carbon. This is because nitrogen, being in Group 15 of the periodic table, has one additional electron in its p orbital compared to carbon, which is in Group 14. Therefore, nitrogen has a greater tendency to accept an additional electron to achieve a stable electron configuration.
Does high value of electron affinity for an atom means that it will gain electron easily?
Yes, that is part of the definition of electron affinity.
