प्रश्न
The electron affinity of an element X is greater than that of element Y.
- How is the oxidising power of X likely to compare with that of Y?
- How is the electronegativity of X likely to compare with that of Y?
- State whether X is likely to be placed to the left or to the right of Y in the periodic table?

उत्तर
- Oxidising power of X > Y. Elements with high electron affinity accept electrons more easily and hence have greater oxidising power.
- Electronegativity of X > Y. An element that has a high electron affinity also tends to have high electronegativity.
- X is to the right side of Y as electron affinity increases from left to right in a period.
