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.
