What is the trend for electron affinity?

As you go across a period; Left to right, the electron affinity increases. As you go down a group; top to bottom, the electron...

What is the general trend of electron affinity as you go left to right across the periodic table?

Generally, it gets stronger.Elements like to have a full outer orbit. They have to fill up their inner orbits before they fill up...

In: Chemistry | Periodic Table

Does electron affinity gain electrons?

Yes. Electron affinity is the process by which a neutral atom gains an electron and the EA is the measure of energy released. The...

How does the periodic trend of atomic radius relate to the addition of electrons?

because they both react in different ways and otherwise known as chemical reactions. the atomic radius is the center of the atom...

What is the trend in the electron affinity of the elements across a period?

Generally electron affinity goes up as you go from left to right across the periodic table, and decreases as you go down a...

How do periodic trends in electronegativity relate to those for ionization energy and electron affinity?

The more positive the ionization energy and the more negative the electron affinity, the greater the electronegativity of an...

Why is the electron affinity of nitrogen lower than the electron affinity of carbon?

I believe it is because of the 1/2 filled p subshell. In N, the p subshell is half filled. Thus, it is happy where it is and it...

What causes periodic trends?

The number of electronic shells (constitute periods (rows)) and the number of electrons on the outer electronic shell (constitute...

What is beryllium's electron affinity?

the electron affinity of beryllium is 0 kj mol -1

What is the electron affinity of argon?

The electron affinity of argon, like all noble gases, is 0, or very close to it, due to its chemical inertness.

How is electronegativity different from electron affinity?

Electronegativity is the measure of pull one atom has on another. Electron affinity is the amount of energy that is released when...

In: Chemistry

How many electrons are in the periodic table?

Each element in the periodic table has a number of protons equal to its atomic number. Uncharged atoms have the same number of...

Define electron affinity of an atom?

Electron affinity is the amount of energy released when a neutral atom accepts an electron. Halogens have the highest electron...

What does the octet rule have to do with the periodic trends?

Octet rule refers to the tendency of formations of noble gases to appear with the addition of eight protons - electrons in...

In: Chemistry

What is electron affinity and its unit?

the minimum amount of energy which released or absorbed when an electron is added to an isolated nuetral gaseous atom from...

In: Chemistry

What periodic trends exist for electrongavity?

Electronegativity increases from left to right across a period from column 1 through column 17 but drops sharply from column 17...

In: Chemistry | Periodic Table

Why does electron affinity decrease?

It decreases as you go down a group because the atomic radius increases, and the energy shells increase, so the attraction is...

In: Chemistry

Why is beryllium's electron affinity negative?

It is NOT negative (for the first IE). Because Be's configuration is 1s2 2s2, we observe that it has no vacant orbital to...

Why the electron affinity is important?

Electron affinity for an atom is important to make it as a molecule. where atom is a small single one and molecule is the...

In: Particle Physics

Is specific heat a periodic trend?

There is no specific heat trend on the periodic table because the gases on the periodic table are solids, liquids, and gases, and...

What does high electron affinity mean?

electron = electron Affinity = Desire hence - high electron affinity is a molecule or ion that will draw electron to itslef and...

What is the periodic trend for electrongativity?

Electronegativity increases when going right along a period and decreases when going downwards along a group.

In: Chemistry | Periodic Table

The electron number is where on a periodic table?

The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of any atom of any element. Because all atoms are neutral, the number...

What is the periodic trend for electronegativity?

As you move from left to right across the periodic table, electronegativity increases, and as you move down the table...

In: Chemistry

What periodic trends exist for electronegativity?

it increases as you move left to right across a period

In: Chemistry

Why is the electron affinity for clorine is greater than the electron affinity for iodine?

As you move down in a group, electron affinity decreases, or becomes less negative. This occurs because it is further away from...

In: Chemistry | Particle Physics

Why is the electron affinity of Mg lower than the electron affinity of K?

Generally, electron affinity increases (becomes less negative) in groups/families moving from top to bottom.

Do metals have a high electron affinity?

No, since they tend to give up, rather than accept, electrons.

What are some periodic trends in elements?

A period is a row in the periodic table which runs horizontally. Each atom in a period has one more electron than the previous...
