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
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.
What is the equation for the electron affinity of Mg plus?
If you express your answer as a chemical equation with all forms given, you would get: Mg+(g) + e- -> Mg (g)
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.
Halogen with the least-negative electron affinity?
The halogen with the least-negative electron affinity is astatine. Electron affinity and electronegativities decreases down a group. Since astatine is the last halogen located in Group 17 as you move down the column from fluorine, it has the least negative electron affinity.
What element has no electron affinity?
Helium has no electron affinity.

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.
What is the difference between electron affinity and electron gain enthalpy?
electron affinity is the negative of electron gain enthalpy. for example, the electron gain enthalpy of fluorine is -328, and electron affinity is 328 which is -(-328)
What is the equation for the electron affinity of Mg plus?
If you express your answer as a chemical equation with all forms given, you would get: Mg+(g) + e- -> Mg (g)
Which has higher electron affinity Iodine or bromine?
Bromine has a higher electron affinity.
Which has the lower electron affinity germanium or selenium?
Selenium has the greater electron affinity
What is an electron's electron affinity?
chloline
Does chlorine have a high electron affinity or a low ionization energy?
It has High electron affinity.
Using the element phosphorus as an example.. what is the equation for a process in which the energy change will correspond to the electron affinity?
P+ -e= -P
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.
What is the highest electron affinity?
chlorine has the highest electron affinity
