Question
Which has higher E.A. fluorine or Neon?
Advertisements
Solution
Fluorine has a higher electron affinity (E.A.) than neon, which is an inert gas with zero electron affinity due to its stable electronic configuration. Fluorine, on the other hand, easily accepts electrons to achieve a stable electronic configuration.
