Highest electron affinity is shown by:
Options
- AF -
- BCI -
- CNa +
- DLi +
Correct answer
D. Li +
Step-by-step solution
Energy released, when electron is added in outer most shell of isolated gaseous atom or ions is called electron affinity. Electron affinity ∝ Nuclear charge Radius of atoms/ions Li + + 1 e - → Attraction Li +   >   Na + electron can reach more nearer to nucleus & Energy released will be highest.
