A) \[Cl\]
B) \[F\]
C) \[Br\]
D) \[I\]
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
Generally, electron affinity decreases down the group but increases in a period. However, the electronegativity of\[Cl\]is more than F because of the smaller size of F, due to which their is a greater repulsion between the incoming electron and electrons present in its valence shell. Hence,\[Cl\]has the maximum electron affinity among halogens.
