Which one of the following equations correctly represents the process involved in the electron affinity of X? A)X( g)→ X ⁺( g)+ e ⁻ B)X ⁺( g)→ X ⁺( aq) C)X ⁺( g)+ e ⁻→ X( g) D)X( g)+ e ⁻→ X ⁻( g) E)X ⁺( g)+ Y ⁻( g)→ XY( s)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct equation for electron affinity is X(g) + e- → X-(g), which can be written as X(g) + e- → X ⁻(g). Option D represents this process with the correct species and products. The other options either involve other reactions or incorrect species/products.
