Electron affinity is a measure of the tendency of a neutral atom  to gain electrons and form a negative ion. It can be represented by a general equation:

X + e- → X-

The value of electron affinity decreases on moving down a group. This is because on moving down a group the atomic size increases as a result the added electron feels less pull or attraction towards the nucleus.

In group 14, Carbon 'C' is the first member and therefore will have the highest electron affinity.

Ans : A) Carbon

Contact [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Hello,

At first, they differ because a physical property is observed without changing the nature of the substance. On the other hand, a change in the nature of the substance must be carried out to observe a chemical property.

As examples, density, solubility and odor (physical properties) could be known by just analyzing a substance, nonetheless, pH, reactivity or combustibility must be known by submitting the substance to a specific chemical reaction.

Best regards.

Which characteristic is a property of water?
Rus_ich [418]

Answer: The correct answer is option (A).

Explanation:

Polar molecules are molecules in which formation of partial charges takes place due to which dipole moment gets created in a molecule. Molecules with polar bonds that s bond with partly ionic character. And water is of the example of polar molecule.

Electronegative oxygen atom in water molecule attracts the electron bond pair towards itself which generates partial negative charge on oxygen atom and partial positive charge on both hydrogen atoms.

Where as water has higher value surface tension due to strong intermolecular association of the water molecule due to presence of hydrogen bonding.And it is more denser is liquid state than in its solid state.

Hence,the correct answer is option (A).
