Share with your friends Share 0 Raveena Sharma answered this Electron affinity is the energy released when an electron is added to an isolated gaseous atom. In the periodic table EA value increases when me move from left to right. The value is 0 or very low, when an electron is added to a stable electronic configuration. (Half filled and fully filled orbitals). In the second period Be, N and Ne has zero electron affinity value. Ne<Be<N < B < Li < C < O < F-29 < -19 < -7 < 27 < 60 <122 < 141 < 328 (kJ/mol)The reason of low electron affinity value of Ne is due to 2s22p6 configurationThe reason of low electron affinity value of Be is due to 2s2 configurationThe reason of low electron affinity value of N is due to half filled 2s22p3. 0 View Full Answer
