Explain the following phenomena. why Fluorine has lower electron affinity than chlorine​

Chemistry
2 answers:
Radda [10]3 years ago

Electron affinity for fluorine is than chlorine most likely , due to the electron repulsion that occur between the electron where n= 2 . the elements in the second period have such small electron clouds that electron repulsion is greater than that of the rest of the family.

Answer:

Fluorine ,through higher than chlorine in the periodic table,has a very small atomic size.This makes the fluoride anion so formed unstable(Highley reactive) due to very high charge/mass/ratio. ...As a result,fluorine has an electron affinity less than that of <u>Chlorine</u>.

Where can you find the number of electrons of an<br> element?
andrezito [222]

Answer:

Subtract the charge from the atomic number. When an ion has a positive charge, the atom has lost electrons. To calculate the remaining number of electrons, you subtract the amount of extra charge from the atomic number. In the case of a positive ion, there are more protons than electrons.
