Since \:  the  \: atomic \:  size \:  increases  \: down  \: the \:  group,  \: electron \:  affinity  \: generally \:  decreases  \: (At  \: &lt; I  \: &lt; Br  \: &lt; F  \: &lt; Cl \: ). \:  An \:  electron \:  will \:  not \:  be \:  as \:  attracted \:  to  \: the \:  nucleus,  \: resulting \:  in  \: a low \:  electron \:  affinity.  \: However, \:  fluorine  \: has \:  a  \: lower \:  electron \:  affinity  \: than  \: chlorine. \:
