Answer:
+4
Explanation:
In PbO2, oxygen exhibits an oxidation number of -2 (since it's not a peroxide or superoxide):
Let the oxidation number of Pb be x. Then, for the compound to be neutral, the oxidation numbers of all atoms should add up to zero.
⇒ x + (−2) + (−2) = 0
x = +4
So the oxidation no. of Pb is +4.
I hope this helps.

Explanation:
Electron affinity is the energy released when an extra electron is added to a neutral gaseous atom. A negative value of electron affinity indicates that energy is given out and vice versa.
Metals have positive electron affinity since electrons rarely accept electrons, so;
Na(g)+ 1e^- → Na^-(g) positive
Mg(g)+1e^- → Mg^-(g) positive
For the last case; Br(g)+ 1e^- → Br^-(g), the electron affinity for the non-metals is negative. hence the answer
