A.
Smaller atomic size of Cl

B.
Smaller atomic size of F

C.
Larger of atomic size of F

D.
Larger of atomic size of Cl

Answer 1

Answer:

________________________________

Electron affinity of Cl is greater than F because:-

(D) larger the atomic size of Cl .

Reason :- F is smaller than Cl and electronic repulsion is more in F than Cl. And Cl is not compactly packed of electrons like as F , and interatomic repulsion is less so, electronic affinity of Cl is more than F
