For the compound formed to be neutral, the charge should be zero. This means that the positive charge should be equal to the negative charge. The balanced chemical reaction forming the neutral chromium oxide is shown below.
2Cr3+ + 3O2- ---> Cr2O3
i) Be has a fully filled 2s level.
ii) This is because chlorine is larger than fluorine.
iii) Fluorine needs only one electron to attain the octet configuration.
Electron affinity is the ability of an electron to accept gaseous electrons to yield gaseous ions with a negative charge.
Electron affinity depends on the size of an atom. Larger atoms have a higher electron affinity because they are better able to accept electrons.
The drop between Li and Be is because the 2s orbital in Be is already fully filled while Li has incompletely filled 2s level. electrons do not easily go into the higher energy 2p level.
The higher peak of chlorine is because chlorine is larger than fluorine hence the electron affinity of fluorine is less than that of chlorine. The smaller the ion the lesser the electron affinity.
Fluorine has the highest electron affinity in period 2 because it needs only one electron to attain the octet structure.
