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 :)

In an ionic bond:
Fynjy0 [20]

In an ionic bond :

=》B. one atom accepts electrons from another.

in this bond an atom ( <em><u>metallic</u></em> ) loses its electrons and another atom ( <em><u>non- metallic</u></em> ) accepts the electrons, and since there isn't the equal positive and negative charges in the atoms, they forms <em><u>cations</u></em> ( +ve charge ) and <em><u>anions </u></em>( -ve charge )

and get stacked or <em><u>attracted</u></em> to each other by strong <em><u>electrostatic force</u></em>.

The density of pure solid copper is 8.94 g/mL. What volume does 34 g of copper occupy?
patriot [66]

hey there ! :

Density = 8.94 g/mL

mass = 34 g

Volume = ??

Therefore:

D = m / V

8.94 = 34 / V

V = 34 / 8.94

V = 3.803 mL

Hope this helps!
