Question 4. The trend of electron affinity from left to right across a period
(a) Remains unchanged
 (b) Increases

(c) Decreases

(d) None of these

Answer: (b) Increases

SOLUTION: From the left to the right tendency to accept electrons increases to get stability. So,
electron affinity increases.

(a) Remains unchanged

(b) Increases

(c) Decreases

(d) None of these

Answer: (b) Increases

SOLUTION: From the left to the right tendency to accept electrons increases to get stability. So, the
nonmetallic character increases.
