![]() Electron Affinity |
Electron affinity is the energy released when an electron is added to the valence shell of a gas-phase atom. Values are reported in kilojoules per mole of atoms. Electron Affinities of the elements were obtained from the 81th edition of the CRC HANDBOOK OF CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS, D. R. Lide, Ed., CRC Press, Inc., 2000. Data from the CRC HANDBOOK OF CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS was collected online at: http://www.knovel.com/knovel2/Toc.jsp?BookID=34 (accessed July, 2002) |
