Why are the electron affinities of the group 4a elements more negative than those of the group 5a elements?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Evgen [1.6K]4 years ago
8 0
The electron subshells in the atoms of group 5a elements discourage electron addition.

This is because the subshells in the group 5a elements are already half-filled, which is a more stable electronic configuration that that which would be achieved if another electron was added.
Meanwhile, group 4a elements' subshell becomes half-filled when an electron is added, making them somewhat stable. This means that they prefer electron addition.

If drops of water are subdivided to the ultimately smallest drops possible, what is the smallest particle of water that retains
vlabodo [156]

Water is molecule formed by the covalent bonding of two atoms of hydrogen with one atom of oxygen. The chemical and physical properties of water are different from each of it's constituent elements Oxygen and Hydrogen. The properties of a drop of water will depend on the simplest unit of water, which is the water molecule H_{2}O. Therefore, the smallest unit of the water drop that retains all the physical and chemical properties exhibited by a sample of water is the molecule.
