Does chlorine have a high electron affinity or a low ionization energy?
It has High electron affinity.
The attraction of an atom for a pair of shared electrons is called its?
Electronegativity
What element has the most negative electron affinity Al Si S Cl?
The element with the greatest electronegativity in this scenario would be Cl or Chlorine.
What is the highest electron affinity?
chlorine has the highest electron affinity
What conclusion can be drawn from the statement that an element has high electron affinity high electronegativity and a high ionization energy?
This element is a very reactive nonmetal as fluorine or chlorine.
Why would flurine have the highest electron affinity?
Fluorine does not have the highest electron affinity it has highest electronegativity the highest electron affinity is for chlorine atom.
How is electron affinity different from electronegativity?
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.
How is affinity different from electronegativity?
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.
How is electron affinity different from electrontivity?
Electron affinity is related to the formation of anions; electronegativity is related to the formation of cations.

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).
How is electron affinity from electronegative?
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.
Which has higher electron affinity fluorine or chlorine?
Fluorine has higher electron affinity than any other element.
