Atomic number electron affinity

An atom s electron affinity is the energy released when one electron is added by the reaction M(g) + e M (g). A large negative number for the exothermic reaction indicates a high electron affinity. Halogens have the highest electron affinities. 

Insertion of the ionization energy of one metal atom, the electron affinity of one halogen atom and the zero point energy of one molecule yields the dissociation energy of one MX molecule. Alternatively insertion of the ionization energy and electron affinity per mole atoms and multiplication of the last two terms by the Avogadro number yield the dissociation energy per mole MX(g) ... 

There is a great number of mostly covalent and tetraliedral binary IV-IV, III-V, II-VI and I-VII semiconductors. Most crystallize in tire zincblende stmcture, but some prefer tire wairtzite stmcture, notably GaN [H, 12]. Wlrile tire bonding in all of tliese compounds (and tlieir alloys) is mostly covalent, some ionic character is always present because of tire difference in electron affinity of tire constituent atoms.

Several portions of Section 4, Properties of Atoms, Radicals, and Bonds, have been significantly enlarged. For example, the entries under Ionization Energy of Molecular and Radical Species now number 740 and have an additional column with the enthalpy of formation of the ions. Likewise, the table on Electron Affinities of the Elements, Molecules, and Radicals now contains about 225 entries. The Table of Nuclides has material on additional radionuclides, their radiations, and the neutron capture cross sections. 

All the elements in a main group have in common a characteristic valence electron configuration. The electron configuration controls the valence of the element (the number of bonds that it can form) and affects its chemical and physical properties. Five atomic properties are principally responsible for the characteristic properties of each element atomic radius, ionization energy, electron affinity, electronegativity, and polarizability. All five properties are related to trends in the effective nuclear charge experienced by the valence electrons and their distance from the nucleus. 

Pyridine.—We shall begin the discussion with pyridine rather than with a substituted benzene, since it offers a particularly simple N example, in which only the inductive effect is operative. We number the atoms I in order, beginning with nitrogen. Then <5j, which takes into account the electron affinity of the nitrogen atom, will be positive in sign, and of the order of magnitude of... 

The electron affinity of atoms varies with atomic number. In moving across any main group blue lines), the electron affinity becomes more negative, but this is the only clear trend. 

By CNDO calculation BE is an increasing function of cluster size for Ag clusters and for Ni clusters [54]. The calculations for Ni clusters showed that the contribution an atom makes to the total BE is proportional to its coordination number [54]. The orbital energies of Ni follow a smooth function of cluster size. As size increases, LUMO decreases and HOMO increases. This represents a convergence of IP and electron affinity values with increase in size.
