Answer:
Ge: [Ar] 3d10 4s2 4p2 => 6 electrons in the outer shell
Br: [Ar] 3d10 4s2 4p5 => 7 electrons in the outer shell
Kr: [Ar] 3d10 4s2 4p6 => 8 electrons in the outer shell
Explanation:
The electron affinity or propension to attract electrons is given by the electronic configuration. Remember that the most stable configuration is that were the last shell is full, i.e. it has 8 electrons.
The closer an atom is to reach the 8 electrons in the outer shell the bigger the electron affinity.
Of the three elements, Br needs only 1 electron to have 8 electrons in the outer shell, so it has the biggest electron affinity (the least negative).
Ge: needs 2 electrons to have 8 electrons in the outer shell, so it has a smaller (more negative) electron affinity than Br.
Kr, which is a noble gas, has 8 electrons and is not willing to attract more electrons at all, the it has the lowest (more negative) electron affinity of all three to the extension that really the ion is so unstable that it does not make sense to talk about a number for the electron affinity of this atom.

You know that you can just google it right? It has this converter.
Anything can be homogenous as long as you can only see the same type of liquid

orange juice with pulp is Hetero
orange juice with no pulp is homo
Conduction - by touch
Convection - hot air rises, cold air sinks
Insulation - to insulate or capture heat
Radiation - by waves
Direct contact means touch, therefore the answer would be conduction.
An imaginary line joining a planet and the sun sweeps out an equal area of space in equal amounts of time. Thus, the speed of the planet increases as it nears the sun and decreases as it recedes from the sun.
