Elements with great electron affinities (large negative values) often have
1. large sizes and low ionization energies.
2. small sizes and low ionization energies.
3. small sizes and high ionization energies.
4. large sizes and high ionization energies.

Answer:

3. small sizes and high ionization energies.

Explanation:

Hello,

Ionization energies are always related with the formation of positive ions. On the other hand, electron affinities are the negative ion equivalent, and their use is almost always confined to elements in groups 6 and 7 of the Periodic Table

Small sizes and high ionization energies turn out into great electron affinities since it is easier for an electron to be added to an atom if it is small and it has a high ionization energy to promote the aforesaid addition.

Best regards.
