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.
i would choose a for 945 and a for faster
We can find for the country by using a map with angle coordinates.
Based on the map that I found online, the country which is located at around 40
degrees north and 100 degrees east is no other than:

Answer:
40 MJ (D)
Explanation:
Quantity of heat (Qh) = 100 MJ
temperature of steam (Th) = 450°c = 450 + 273 = 723 K
emperature of water (TI) = 20 °c = 20 + 273 = 293 k
efficiency = (Qh-Qi)/Qh = (Th-Ti)/Th
- Qi= 0.5947 x 
- (0.5947 x ) = Qi
Qi = 40.5 MJ equivalent to 40 MJ (D)
