Answer #1

Electron affinity is the energy that is released when an electron is added to a neutral atom in the gaseous state to form a negative ion.

As we go along a period from left to right the electron affinity increases. As we go down the group the electron affinity decreases.

The electron affinity is found to be > zero for noble elements as they have already octet configuration which is the stable one and doesn't want to become an ion as it will become unstable.

The order is

Neon > Sodium > Arsenic > Oxygen > Iodine

From most positive to most negative.

A) An atom's size is determined by how far the outermost electrons are from the nucleus. The size of an atom is affected by the size of an atom's orbitals as well as by the positive pull of an atom's protons. Arrange the following elements in order of decreasing atomic size. Rank the atoms from largest to smallest. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them. Na, B, Ne, F, N. B) The ionization energy of an atom is the energy...
