The electron affinity of an element is positive if energy is absorbed during the process of accepting an electron and negative if energy is released during the process. using the electron configuration of the atom or ion undergoing the addition of an electron, predict whether the electron affinity will be positive or negative for the following reactions, and classify them accordingly.

In a popular classroom demonstration, solid sodium is added to liquid water and reacts to produce hydrogen gas and aqueous sodium hydroxide. part a write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction. express your answer as a chemical equation. identify all of the phases in your answer.

Click the button that shows the correct relationship of the electron affinities of the elements sodium and phosphorus. sodium’s electron affinity value is more negative than the electron affinity value of phosphorus. phosphorus’ electron affinity value is more negative than the electron affinity value of sodium. this information cannot be determined using the periodic table. answer is b on e2020.
