A) \[O>C>N>B\]
B) \[B>N>C>O\]
C) \[\text{O}>C>B>N\]
D) \[\text{O}>B>C>N\]
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
The correct order of electron affinity of B, C, N, O is \[O>C>B>N\]. Electron affinity increases on moving from left to right in a period. Its reason is that atomic radius decreases in a period with increase in atomic number. But the electron affinity of element with half or full filled orbital (having stable configuration) is lowest.| B | C | N | O | |
