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 element in Group 13 has the lowest electron affinity?

Aluminum has the lowest electron affinity in Group 13 because it is the most electropositive element in this group due to its position in the periodic table. Electropositive elements tend to have lower electron affinities.


What has the highest and lowest electron affinity Na Mg Al Si P S Cl Ar?

Among the elements listed: Highest electron affinity: Cl (Chlorine) with an electron affinity of -349 kJ/mol. Lowest electron affinity: Ar (Argon) with an electron affinity of 0 kJ/mol (inerts gases like Ar typically have low electron affinities).


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 is the electron affinity of francium?

Francium has the lowest electron affinity among all the elements because it is highly reactive and readily loses an electron to form a positive ion. This means that francium has a very low tendency to gain an electron.


What is the lowest atomic number element that contains a p electron?

Boron. It's electron configuration is 1s22s22p1.


Which halogen has the lowest first ionization potential?

The outer electrons in bigger halogens are further from the nucleus and so they feel less attraction and so are easier to remove. Therefore, astatine has the lowest ionisation potential of the halogens.


Would it be most difficult to remove an electron from sodium aluminum sulfur or chlorine?

It would be most difficult to remove an electron from chlorine because it has the highest electron affinity among the elements mentioned. Sodium has the lowest ionization energy, meaning it's easiest to remove an electron from it.


What element has the lowest densityof all the elements?

Hydrogen because it is only one proton and one electron.


What element contributes least to the molar mass of morphine?

Formula: C17H19NO3. As there is only one N and nitrogen has a molecular weight of 14, Nitrogen contributes the least of any element to morphine


What is ionization energy and which element has the lowest ionization energy?

The energy required for an element to ionize and helium has the lowest.


This element has the lowest atomic number in group 16?

Nitrogen


Why element is the most reactive?

This rare metal has the lowest electronegativity on the periodic table. With an electronegativity number of 0.7 this element donates it's electron very easily to the higher electronegative nonmetals.
