The electron affinity value are negative for : A. Be → Be⁻ B. N → N⁻ C. O → O²⁻ D. Na → Na⁻ E. Al → Al⁻ Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

  1. (1) D and E only
  2. (2) A, B, D and E only
  3. (3) A and D only
  4. (4) A, B and C only

Correct answer: (4) A, B and C only

Solution

The correct answer includes options A, B, and C because these represent elements that release energy when gaining an electron, resulting in a negative electron affinity. In contrast, the other options either do not favorably gain an electron or require energy input, leading to positive or zero electron affinity values.
