ELECTRON AFFINITY

TABLE 4.4 Electron Afnities of Atoms, Molecules, and Radicals

Electron afnity of an atom (molecule or radical) is dened as the energy difference between the lowest (ground)
state of the neutral and the lowest state of the corresponding negative ion in the gas phase.
A(g) e A(g)
Data are limited to those negative ions which, by virtue of their positive electron afnity, are stable. Uncertainty
in the nal data gures is given in parentheses. Calculated values are enclosed in brackets.
