MCAT Question of the Day
    •

    Q:

    		 For an element whose valence electron configuration is ns2np1, where n is some integer, how will its electron affinity compare to its neighboring element whose electron configuration is ns2np2?
    		 

    A

    		 It will be lower because electron affinity increases as one goes right and up along the periodic table

    B

    		 It will be higher because electron affinity increases as one goes right and up along the periodic table

    C

    		 It will be higher because electron affinity decreases as one goes right and up along the periodic table

    D

    		 It will be lower because electron affinity decreases as one goes right and up along the periodic table
