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.


Do Nonmetals with lower electron affinity have higher reactivity?

No. The most reactive non metal, fluorine, has the highest electron affinity.


Who has highest value of electron affinity sulphur or oxygen?

Oxygen.


Does Iodine have less electron affinity than fluorine?

Yes. It's true. Chlorine has the highest electron affinity, then Fluorine, Bromine and Iodine


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.)


What energy changes when a neutral atom gains an electron?

When an electron is acquired by a neutral atom, the energy change is called electron affinity. Neutral atoms with an s2p6 electron configuration in the highest energy level are best classified as gases.


Is electron affinity of N is greater than F?

No, it is not. Electron affinity follows a trend like electronegativity and hence increases as we move from left to right across a period. So, Fluorine has the highest electron affinity among 1st period elements.


Which group of elements has the highest electron affinity?

Groups 6 and 7.


What element has no electron affinity?

Helium has no electron affinity.


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


Does copper or gold have a higher electron affinity?

Gold; gold has the highest electronic affinity of any atom other than the halogens, due to relativistic effects.


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)
