Question

Electron affinity of fluorine is less than chlorine why

Answer 1

Explanation:

Because of the factor that is size and the nucleur charge.. Bigger the size more easily the e- accept by the atom.

Answer 2

Answer:

because fluorine has small size as compared to chlorine

and charge density of fluorine will be maximum

there are strong inner repulsion among valence electron so the outer electron doesn't feel the attraction from the nucleus .
