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

Chemistry
1 answer:
pshichka [43]3 years ago
8 0
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 :)

Answer:

Gravity is very important for us,animals and plants. We could not survive Earth without it. The sun's gravity keeps Earth in orbit around it, keeping us a good distance away from it (the sun). Gravity is holding down our atmosphere and the air we need to breathe along with it.
