Why does Electron affinity increase
The less electrons it has, the smaller the atom. This increases the positive charge of the atom and therefore can attract electrons better.
5
New cards
Why does electron affinity decrease
It has more electrons and the outermost electrons are further from the nucleus and their attraction is weaker.
