उत्तर
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation:
When the electron affinity value is high, the anion forms quickly. A high (negative) electron affinity indicates that an atom releases a considerable amount of energy while gaining an electron, indicating that it is strongly attracted to electrons. This makes it easier for the atom to receive an electron and produce a negative ion (anion). Hence, the assertion (A) is true. Electron affinity promotes electron acceptance, a stage in ionic bond formation. As a result, reason (R) is true and accurately explains Assertion (A).
