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

When do some atoms in covalent bonds become slightly negative or slightly positive
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

A covalent bond is the force of attraction that holds together two atoms that share a pair of electrons. It forms between atoms of the same or different nonmetals. In polar covalent bonds, one atom attracts the shared electrons more strongly and becomes slightly negative. The other atom becomes slightly positive
