    The electron affinities of halogens follow the order

    A)  \[{{F}_{2}}>C{{l}_{2}}>B{{r}_{2}}>{{I}_{2}}\]

    B)  \[C{{l}_{2}}>{{F}_{2}}>B{{r}_{2}}>{{I}_{2}}\]

    C)  \[B{{r}_{2}}>C{{l}_{2}}>{{F}_{2}}>{{I}_{2}}\]

    D)  \[{{I}_{2}}>B{{r}_{2}}>C{{l}_{2}}>{{F}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    The electron affinities of halogens is as: \[C{{l}_{2}}>{{F}_{2}}>B{{r}_{2}}>{{I}_{2}}\] Fluorine has lesser value of electron affinity than chlorine due to its smaller size and higher electron density.
