URGENT HELP NEEDED! I WILL GIVE MEDALS AND FAN!!! When an electron is added to a neutral atom of an element to form a negative ion, the resulting change in energy is referred to as the electron potential of that element. True or False

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I believe the answer is false...but I'm not sure and I really need to get a 100% on this quiz.

OpenStudy (dulljackel09):

False

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, thnx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

someone said that it's electron affinity, is that true?

OpenStudy (dulljackel09):

I have never ever heard of an electron affinity

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Electron affinity reflects the ability of an atom to accept an electron. It is the energy change that occurs when an electron is added to a gaseous atom. Atoms with stronger effective nuclear charge have greater electron affinity.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

according to about.com

OpenStudy (aravindg):

Yes electron affinity/enthalpy is defined as the energy change when a single electron is added to an atom in gaseous state.

OpenStudy (dulljackel09):

Speak english mang

thnx @aravindG

OpenStudy (aravindg):

yw :)
