Ionization and Electron Affinity

What is the electron affinity trend?

• The electron affinity increases as we move across the period from left to right and we go upwards in the group.

• The electron affinity decreases as we move across the period from right to left and we go upwards in the group.

• The electron affinity increases as we move across the period from left to right and we go downwards in the group.

• The electron affinity increases as we move across the period from right to left and we go downwards in the group.
