Solution

The correct option is C Noble gases have the highest electron affinity among all the elements in the periodic table
Electron affinity of noble gases is zero as these are highly inert gases because of their completely filled shells they have no tendency to gain or lose electrons.

Q. Question 1
Which of the following statements is not a correct statement about the trends when going from left to right across the periods of the periodic table?

1. The elements become less metallic in nature.
2. The number of valence electrons increases.
3. The atoms lose their electrons more easily.
