they posses a high electron affinity due to certain charges gained in the orbital

Which element has the lowest electron affinity Is it nitrogen?
No, nitrogen does not have a low electron affinity. Electron affinity increases as you go up and to the right on the periodic table. Thus, Groups I and II elements (ex. Cs, Ba, Sr, etc.) have LOW electron affinities and the halogens in Group VII (Br, Cl, F, etc) have the HIGHEST electron affinities. Chlorine has the HIGHEST electron affinity on the periodic table.(Fluorine is an exception in this case.)
Which group of elements has the highest electron affinity?
Groups 6 and 7.
Why is the electron affinity of Mg lower than the electron affinity of K?
Generally, electron affinity increases (becomes less negative) in groups/families moving from top to bottom.
What are periodic trends?
periodic trends are the tendencies of certain elemental characteristics to increase or decrease as one progresses along a row or column of the periodic table of elements.
How many groups of elements in periodic table?
There are 18 groups and 7 periods in the modern periodic table.
What are the general properties of the elements in the group on the right side of the periodic table?
The elements present at right side groups of the periodic table are non-metals. They have high electron affinity and ionization energy.
Which element has the lowest electron affinity Is it nitrogen?
No, nitrogen does not have a low electron affinity. Electron affinity increases as you go up and to the right on the periodic table. Thus, Groups I and II elements (ex. Cs, Ba, Sr, etc.) have LOW electron affinities and the halogens in Group VII (Br, Cl, F, etc) have the HIGHEST electron affinities. Chlorine has the HIGHEST electron affinity on the periodic table.(Fluorine is an exception in this case.)
Which group of elements has the highest electron affinity?
Groups 6 and 7.
Why is the electron affinity of Mg lower than the electron affinity of K?
Generally, electron affinity increases (becomes less negative) in groups/families moving from top to bottom.
Why are columns called groups in the periodic table?
Columns in a Periodic Table are called groups.They represent elements with similar characteristic. All the elements in a group has same number of valence electron.
What are periods for the periodic table?
The rows of the Periodic Table represent periods. Elements in the same columns have similar characteristics. Also, if you plot some characteristics such as electron affinity you will see periodic data corresponding to the rows. The rows correspond the S shell layers. There are also other periodic characteristics corresponding to the other shells ie: d,f,p.
How many groups columns are in the periodic table of elements?
There are 18 groups in the periodic table of elements.
What are periodic trends?
periodic trends are the tendencies of certain elemental characteristics to increase or decrease as one progresses along a row or column of the periodic table of elements.
What is the periodic table made up of?
The composition of the periodic table is made up of periods and groups. The table arranges the chemical elements based off of their atomic numbers, chemical properties and electron configurations.
How many groups of elements in periodic table?
There are 18 groups and 7 periods in the modern periodic table.
What elements properties can be predicted from?
An elements property can be best predicted from the group it is in the Periodic Table. Groups (the columns of the tables) of elements have similar properties due to their similar electron configuration of the valence shell.
What are groups in the periodic table?
Groups in the periodic table are the vertical columns in which the elements are arranged.
