Why electron affinity of nitrogen is more than fluorine explain with diagrams
Answer (1)
24th Aug, 2018
Hello Smd Tarik,
Though fluorine is the most electronegative atom it has lower electron affinity than chlorine.It is due to their compact atomic size which propels it high electron density inside the atom.So the incoming electron somehow feels a repulsion which leads to lower value of affinity.
Hope it helps you
Thank you
