    The correct order of electron affinities of S, N, 0 and \[Cl\] is :

    A)  \[O=Cl<S=N\]

    B)  \[O<S<Cl<N\]

    C)  \[N<O<S<Cl\]

    D)  \[O<N<Cl<S\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Key Idea: The electron affinity is amount of energy released when one electron is added to isolated gaseous atom. Its value increases in period and decreases in a group. The variations are in inverse relation to size. The correct order of electron affinities among given elements is \[N<O<S<Cl\]
