Chapter 5, Problem 92QRT
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason for negative sign of first electron affinity and positive sign of second electron affinity has to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Electron affinity:  It is the energy change when an electron is added to a gaseous atom to form 1 ion.  Also, it is a measure of the attraction an atom has for an additional electron.  Eg: electron affinity of fluorine is -328kJ/mol

    F(g)+e-F-(g)

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
electron affinity of chlorine is greater than that of fluorine. why
• Define ionization energy? How ionization energy does change from left to right along the periods in the periodic table?
Explain whether the cation formed from an atom is larger or smaller and why. Then, explain whether the anion formed from an atom is larger or smaller and why. We would predict that the alkaline earth metals would have a higher electron affinity than the alkali metals, but they do not. Why Why does beryllium have a higher ionization energy than we would predict and a lower electron affinity than we would predict?
