hey mate here is ur answer

Chlorine has more electron affinity.

hope it helps

Answer 2

Answer:

Fluorine, which is higher up the group then chlorine, has a lower electron affinity.

This is because the electrons in the outermost shell of a fluorine atom are closer together.

Energy is required to keep the gained electron in the shell, causing fluorine to have a smaller electron affinity than chlorine.

The electron affinity of chlorine is greater than that of fluorine.

This due to its small size which results in high charge density, so there are strong inner repulsion among valence electrons and so the outer electron does not feel the attraction from the nucleus.
