Electron configurations:
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
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.

Answer:
To find the diameter of the wire, when the following are given:
Resistivity of the material (Rho), Current flowing in the conductor, I, Potential difference across the conductor ends, V, and length of the wire/conductor, L.
Using the ohm's law,
Resistance R = (rho*L)/A
R = V/I.
Crossectional area of the wire A = π*square of radius
Radius = sqrt(A/π)
Diameter = Radius/2 = [sqrt(A/π)]
Making A the subject of the formular
A = (rho* L* I)V.
From the result of A, Diameter can be determined using
Diameter = [sqrt(A/π)]/2. π is a constant with the value 22/7
Explanation:
Error and uncertainty can be measured varying the value of the parameters used and calculating different values of the diameters. Compare the values using standard deviation
Answer:
lowest level contains more energy
