  2. Electron affinity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_affinity

    The electron affinity of molecules is a complicated function of their electronic structure. For instance the electron affinity for benzene is negative, as is that of naphthalene, while those of anthracene, phenanthrene and pyrene are positive. In silico experiments show that the electron affinity of hexacyanobenzene surpasses that of fullerene. [5]

  3. Electron affinity (data page) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_affinity_(data_page)

    Electron affinity can be defined in two equivalent ways. First, as the energy that is released by adding an electron to an isolated gaseous atom. The second (reverse) definition is that electron affinity is the energy required to remove an electron from a singly charged gaseous negative ion.

  4. Born–Haber cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Born–Haber_cycle

    Electron affinity is defined as the amount of energy released when an electron is added to a neutral atom or molecule in the gaseous state to form a negative ion. The Born–Haber cycle applies only to fully ionic solids such as certain alkali halides .

  5. Properties of nonmetals (and metalloids) by group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_nonmetals...

    Chemically, the nonmetals mostly have higher ionisation energies, higher electron affinities (nitrogen and the noble gases have negative electron affinities) and higher electronegativity values [n 1] than metals noting that, in general, the higher an element's ionisation energy, electron affinity, and electronegativity, the more nonmetallic ...

  6. Noble gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noble_gas

    Noble gases cannot accept an electron to form stable anions; that is, they have a negative electron affinity. [32] The macroscopic physical properties of the noble gases are dominated by the weak van der Waals forces between the atoms.

  7. Electronegativity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronegativity

    The Mulliken electronegativity can only be calculated for an element whose electron affinity is known. Measured values are available for 72 elements, while approximate values have been estimated or calculated for the remaining elements. The Mulliken electronegativity of an atom is sometimes said to be the negative of the chemical potential. [14]

  8. Anderson's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anderson's_rule

    The electron affinity (usually given by the symbol in solid state physics) gives the energy difference between the lower edge of the conduction band and the vacuum level of the semiconductor. The band gap (usually given the symbol E g {\displaystyle E_{\rm {g}}} ) gives the energy difference between the lower edge of the conduction band and the ...

  9. Periodic trends - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_trends

    The energy released when an electron is added to a neutral gaseous atom to form an anion is known as electron affinity. [15] Trend-wise, as one progresses from left to right across a period , the electron affinity will increase as the nuclear charge increases and the atomic size decreases resulting in a more potent force of attraction of the ...
