Answer:
(C) Oxygen because it has the strongest attractive force and the largest
electronegativity
Explanation:
Oxygen will be most reactive
configuration =
As oxygen need only two electrons to complete its octet.
Oxygen will have stronger force than nitrogen as it will tend to pull electrons more to complete its octet. Also along the period electronegativity increases so oxygen has higher electronegativity than nitrogen
Answer:
5. Selenium, because it does not have a stable, half-filled p subshell and adding an electron does not decrease its stability.
Explanation:
Electron affinity is the amount of energy released when an isolated gaseous atom accepts electron to form the corresponding anion.
Selenium:-
The electronic configuration of the element is:-
Arsenic:-
The electronic configuration of the element is:-
The 4p orbital in case of arsenic is half filled which makes the element having more stability as compared to selenium.
Thus, selenium has higher electron affinity because adding electron does not decrease the stability as in case of arsenic.
