No, larger mammals tend to have a higher affinity for oxygen. This is because larger animals have a greater need for oxygen due to their higher metabolic rates, so their bodies have adapted to efficiently utilize the available oxygen.

Which has lower electron affinity between oxygen and fluorine?

Fluorine has a lower electron affinity than oxygen. This is because fluorine already has a full outer shell of electrons and adding another electron would create repulsion due to electron-electron interactions. Oxygen, on the other hand, has space in its outer shell to accept an additional electron more easily.


What would be the solute 80 percent Nitrogen 20 percent Oxygen?

In this case, the solute would be nitrogen since it is the substance that is present in the larger proportion (80%) compared to oxygen (20%). The solvent would be the medium in which these substances are dissolved, such as air or a gas mixture.


Which element would most likely have a positive electron affinity between Na Al Rb and Ar?

Chlorine (Cl) would most likely have a positive electron affinity. Typically, elements with high electron affinities are found on the right side of the periodic table, closer to the noble gases. Among the choices given, Argon (Ar) is a noble gas and has a positive electron affinity.


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).


Why would the time to put a candle flame out vary on the size of beaker put over the candle?

The time to put out the candle flame with a beaker varies based on the size of the beaker because larger beakers have more trapped air volume, which can limit the flow of oxygen reaching the flame. As the flame consumes the available oxygen in the beaker, it will eventually be extinguished once the oxygen level becomes too low to sustain combustion. Larger beakers will take longer to deplete the oxygen supply, hence taking longer to put out the flame.

Would you expect nonmetals to have larger electron affinities than metals?

Yes. Non metals have larger electron affinity than metals as non metals accept electrons more easily than metals.


Do all animals use the same amount of oxygen?

Animals use the amount of oxygen relative to their size. An elephant would need lots of oxygen, as it has larger muscles. Whereas a mouse has considerably smaller muscles, so it would require less oxygen.

It does not because change only occurs when temperature is involved.

The first degree of affinity refers to a relationship between one spouse and the blood relatives of the other spouse. For example, a person's spouse's parents would be considered in the first degree of affinity to that person.


Are bats a bird or mammal Deuteronomy 14 v11 to 18?
