Chapter 8, Problem 8.87QP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason for difference in values between first and second electron affinity for the given element Sulphur should be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Periodic Table: The available chemical elements are arranged considering their atomic number, the electronic configuration and their properties. The elements placed on the left of the table are metals and non-metals are placed on right side of the table.

In periodic table the horizontal rows are called periods and the vertical column are called group.

In periodic table the horizontal rows are called periods and the vertical column are called group. There are seven periods and 18 groups present in the table and some of those groups are given special name as follows,

Group-1Alkali metalGroup-2Alkaline metalsGroup-16ChalcogensGroup-17HalogensGroup-18Noble gases

Atomic Number: Atomic number of the element is equal to the number of protons present in the nucleus of the element which is denoted by symbol Z. The superscript presents on the left side of the symbol of the element.

Electron affinity: It is defined as the process where the energy gets released or observed when an electron gets added to the isolated gaseous state which results in the formation of negative ion.

The reason behind the electron affinity values for the given element.
