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.

The density of an object or quantity of matter is its mass divided by its volume.
Answer:
The first element in the periodic table is hydrogen.
Explanation:
Hydrogen has an atomic number of one, making it the first element of the periodic table. The atomic number of an element is just the number of protons in the nucleus, so hydrogen has one proton. The neutrons and electrons do not affect the atomic number. After hydrogen with one proton comes helium with two, lithium with three, beryllium with four, and so on.
