Question
A, B, C are three elements in which B is an inert gas other than helium.With this information complete the following table.
| Element | Atomic number | No. of electrons in the valence shell | Group to which the element belongs |
| A | Z - 1 | ||
| B | Z | ||
| C | Z + 1 |
Also, explain the following : Electron affinity of B is Zero.

Solution
| Element | Atomic number | No. of electrons in the valence shell | Group to which the element belongs |
| A | Z - 1 | ||
| B | Z | ||
| C | Z + 1 | 1 | 1 |
Since B is a noble gas element so its electron affinity is zero as its octet is complete.
