Consider the following neutral electron configurations in which n has a constant value. which configuration would belong to the element with the most negative electron affinity, eea? view available hint(s) consider the following neutral electron configurations in which n has a constant value. which configuration would belong to the element with the most negative electron affinity, a. 5s2 b. 5s25p2 c. 5s25p5 d. 5s25p6

"c" is the element with the most negative electron affinity.

Explanation:

We can obtain the following information from the electron configuration:

Period: Is the level in which the differential electron is in.

Group: Is the sum of all electrons in the last level.

Knowing their ubication in the periodic table, we can classify them as metals, nonmetals or noble gases.

a. 5s²            P: 5    G: IIA (2) Metal

b. 5s²5p²      P: 5    G: 2 + 2 = IVA (14) Nonmetal

c. 5s²5p⁵      P: 5    G: 2 + 5 = VIIA (17) Nonmetal

d. 5s²5p⁶      P: 5    G: 2 + 6 = VIIIA (18) Noble gas

Noble metals have a low tendency to gain electrons so their electron affinity is neglectable. For elements in the same period, the electron affinity gets more negative from left to right. Therefore, "c" is the element with the most negative electron affinity.

Vanessa: Dad?

Heinz Doofenshmirtz: Oh, hi, Vanessa!

Vanessa: Dad, what are you doing?

Heinz Doofenshmirtz: Well I'll be honest I don't really understand

But I fell down this hill and I got glue on my hands

Now I got records on my fingers

Kids: Wht?

Heinz Doofenshmirtz: Records on my fingers

I got records on my fingers and I just can't stop

Kids: Don't stop

Heinz Doofenshmirtz: I can't stop I got a platypus controlling me

Kids: WHT?

Heinz Doofenshmirtz: I got a platypus controlling me

Now let me sum it up

It was a strange set of circumstances

Kids: Strange set of circumstances?

Heinz Doofenshmirtz: I fell down the hill, I got glue on my hands now I got records on my fingers

And I just can't stop

Kids: DON'T STOP DON'T STOP

Heinz Doofenshmirtz: Well I would if I was able

There's a platypus controlling me he's underneath the table

Kids: There's a platypus controlling him—WHAAAT?

Kid: Oh I get it, platypus is a metaphor for whatever is keeping you down. Like, corporations are a platypus

Kids: The government's a platypus

Your teacher is a platypus

Weird Kid: My teacher is a panda

Kids: Society's a platypus

My parents are a platypus

The media's a platypus

It's all just propaganda

Yeah, we all got a platypus controlling us

Heinz Doofenshmirtz: No just me

Kids: We all got a platypus controlling us

Heinz Doofenshmirtz: I'd stop if I was able

Kids: We all got a platypus controlling us

Heinz Doofenshmirtz: I'm not speaking metaphorically

The platypus controlling me is underneath the table

Oh wait, no, he's gone!

Heyyy! There's no platypus controlling me...

There's no platypus controlling me!
