Question

Which element would have the most favorable favorable (most negative) electron affinity?

Ga, Ca, Se, or Br

 

Which equation below illustrates the first electron affinity for silicon?

Si⁺ (g)  → Si⁺²(g)  + e⁻,

Si⁺² (g) + 2e⁻  → Si (g),

Si (g) + e⁻ → Si⁻ (g),

Si (g)  → Si⁺ (g) + e⁻,

Si (g)  →  Si⁺² (g) + 2e⁻,

or

Si (g) + 2e⁻  → Si⁻² (g)
