Answer:
5. Selenium, because it does not have a stable, half-filled p subshell and adding an electron does not decrease its stability.
Explanation:
Electron affinity is the amount of energy released when an isolated gaseous atom accepts electron to form the corresponding anion.
Selenium:-
The electronic configuration of the element is:-
Arsenic:-
The electronic configuration of the element is:-
The 4p orbital in case of arsenic is half filled which makes the element having more stability as compared to selenium.
Thus, selenium has higher electron affinity because adding electron does not decrease the stability as in case of arsenic.
Answer:
0
Explanation:
An image of the lewis structure of the compound OF2 is shown in the image attached.
A Lewis structure is a structure in which electron pairs on atoms are shown as dots. Sometimes shared electron pairs are shown by a horizontal straight line connecting the two atoms involved.
OF2 has no double bonds as shown in its structure. It is a compound containing only two O-F sigma bonds and no pi-bonds.
