JEE Main & Advanced Chemistry Classification of Elements and Periodicity in Properties / तत्त्वों का वर्गीकरण एवं गुणों में आवर्ति Question Bank Electron Affinity

  • question_answer
    The correct order of electron affinity of B, C, N, O is [MP PET 1997; J & K 2005]

    A) \[O>C>N>B\]

    B) \[B>N>C>O\]

    C) \[O>C>B>N\]

    D) \[O>B>C>N\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[\underset{140.9}{\mathop{O}}\,>\underset{122.3}{\mathop{C}}\,>\underset{83}{\mathop{B}}\,>\underset{0}{\mathop{N}}\,\] Value of electron affinity increases on going from left to right in periods but the value of electron affinity of Vth A elements is less than that of IVth A element, this is due to half filled p-orbitals presence.
