Question

10) Which of the following equations correctly represents the process involved in the
electron affinity of X?
a) X+(g) + e- → X(g)
b) x*(g) + Y-(g) → XY(g)
c) X(g) + e- → X*(g)
d) X(g) →X+(g) + e-
e) x+(g) → X+(aq)

Answer 1

Answer:

Electron affinity refers to how much energy is changed when neutral atom in gaseous form adds electron to become gaseous ion. So X(g) + e- > X-(g)

Answer 2

The equation that represents the correct process of electron affinity is  $X_{(g)} \ + \ e^{-} \ --> \ \ X^{-} _{(g)}$.

Electron affinity is the energy change from the addition of one electron (1 e⁻) to a gaseous ion.

This process can represented using the following equations;

$atom_{(g)} \ + \ e^{-} \ ---> \ Ion^{-}_{(g)}$

From the equation given above, the correct equation that represents the process of electron affinity is written as;

$X_{(g)} \ + \ e^{-} \ --> \ \ X^{-} _{(g)}$

Thus, we can conclude that the equation that represents the correct process of electron affinity is  $X_{(g)} \ + \ e^{-} \ --> \ \ X^{-} _{(g)}$.
