Q. Assertion :Electron affinity of 4th period elements is less than that of 3rd period elements. Reason: Fourth period elements are larger than that of third period. Hence, accepting tendency of electrons will be less for fourth period because of large size that is because of addition of new shell.

Q. Assertion :Manganese has a less favourable electron affinity than its neighbours in either side. Reason: The magnitude of an elements electron affinity depends on the elements valence shell electronic configuration.
