Question

The correct sequence of electron affinity of C , N , O and F is (A) C> N< O< F (B) C > N < O > F (C) C < N > O < F (D) C > N > O > F

Electron affinity increases from left to right in a periodic table. But electron affinity of N is less than both C and O because N have half filled electronic configuration thus it opposes the addition of incoming electron. Thus, the order is C > N < O < F.

Q. The correct sequence of electron affinity of $C, N, O$ and $F$ is

$C > N < O < F$

$C > N < O > F$

$C < N > O < F$

$C > N > O > F$
