Question

Electron affinity of X would be equal to
(a) electron affinity of X⁻
(b) ionization energy of X
(c) ionization energy of X⁻ with sign reversed
(d) none of these

Answer 1

c is the correct option as electron affinity is reverse of I E .

Answer 2

Answer:B is the answer.

Explanation:Energy released during addition of electron in X(Electron Affinity) is equal to energy required toremove an electron from X^-(Ionisation Potential ).
