why the third ionisation energy of manganese is unexpectedly high?
Why are all elements above are unstable?
Nitrogen has lower electron affinity than its preceeding element carbon because
Electron affinity decreases along a period.
Electron affinity generally increases along a period.
Nitrogen atom has half filled p-orbital
Nitrogen is a p-block element
- F>Cl>O>S
- F>O>Cl>S
- Cl>F>S>O
- O>F>S>Cl
Reason: This is due to the smaller atomic size of N in which there is a considerable electron-electron repulsion and hence the additional electron is not accepted easily.
