Question

electron affinity of fluorine is less than chlorine​

Answer 1

Answer:

The electronic attraction in chlorine is more than that in fluorine so it has higher electron affinity

Answer 2

$\huge{\pink{\underline{\tt{Answer :-}}}}$

• On comparing chloride ion with fluoride ion we find that electron density per unit volume in fluoride ion (F−) is more than in chloride (Cl−) "ion.

• This means that coming electron in fluorine atom finds less attraction than in chlorine atom. Consequently, electron affinity of chlorine is higher than that of fluorine
