    Highest electron affinity is shown by

    A) \[{{O}^{-}}\]                      

    B)        \[{{F}^{-}}\]                       

    C) \[C{{l}_{2}}\]                     

    D)        \[{{F}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Molecules of \[{{F}_{2}},C{{l}_{2}}\] and anion \[{{F}^{-}}\], all have stable inert gas configuration. Thus, their electron affinity is almost zero. Hence, among the given, \[{{O}^{-}}\] has the highest electron affinity.
