Question

plz give appropriate answer****
@Why chlorine has greater electron affinity?​

Answer 1

ANSWER:-

Fluorine, though higher than chlorine in the periodic table, has a very small atomic size.

This makes the fluoride anion so formed unstable (highly reactive) due to a very high charge/mass ratio.

Also, fluorine has no d-orbitals, which limits its atomic size. As a result, fluorine has an electron affinity less than that of chlorine.
