Which atom has higher electron affinity F or I, Why?​

Chemistry

pshichka [43]3 years ago

Down a group, electron affinity typically decreases. This is because the atomic radius increases down a group.
Fluorine, which is higher up the group then chlorine, has a lower electron affinity. This is because the electrons in the outermost shell of a fluorine atom are closer together.
The electron gained also feels a great amount of repulsion from the electrons originally in the outermost shell. Energy is required to keep the gained electron in the shell, causing fluorine to have a smaller electron affinity than chlorine.
Hope this helps :)

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

the Law of multiple proportions

Explanation:

The law of multiple proportions states that, if two elements A and B combine to form more than one chemical compound, then the various masses of one of the elements A, which combines with a fixed mass of the element B are in simple multiple ratio.

This is demonstrated in the formation of nitrogen compounds such as NO and N2O when nitrogen combines with oxygen. This ratio is always constant.
