the electron affinity decreases down the group because new electrons continuously add in a outer shells that are far away from nucleus,so these electrons are less attracted to the nucleus and that's why releases less energy when added

∙ 13y agoAs we know..electronegativity is the tendencial ability of atom to attract bonded pair of electron towards itself in a covalent molecule.In group as we go down electronegativity decreases from top to buttom.This is due to inreasing atomic size with decrease in effectiv nuclear charge.
