One of the trends is that Electron Affinity increase from left to right, and down to up on Periodic Table, but I know there are exceptions.
Which of these atoms has the greatest electron affinity?
A.) He
B.) F
C.) Br
D.) As
Is the answer A or B? I know He is a noble gas, but it does not have a full octet since there are only 2 electrons, since there is no full octet does He have a greater electron affinity than F?? As always thanks in advance.
