Trend in Electron Affinity

Arrange the f...

Question

Arrange the following as per the instructions given in the brackets:
$C l, F, B r, I$ (increasing order of electron affinity)

Open in App

Solution

On moving down the group as the atomic size increases, electron affinity decreases.
Greater the electron affinity more electronegative is the element.
The order is: $I < B r < C l < F$
