What is the general trend for electron affinity values going across a period? The

A.values become more negative.
B.The values become more positive.
C.The values stay relatively constant.
D.The values show no trend.

Respuesta :

Answer: The values become more negative

Explanation: I just took the quiz and got it correct :)

As we go across the period, electron affinity values  become more negative.

Electron affinity refers to the energy released when one mole of electrons is added to a gaseous atom to yield one mole of gaseous ions with a negative charge. This trend increases across a period but decreases down the group.

Hence, as we move across the period, more energy is released as electrons are added to atoms and electron affinity values become more negative.
