Which one of the following statements is false

Options

A. The electron affinity of chlorine is less than that of fluorine
B. The electronegativity of fluorine is more than that of chlorine
C. The electron affinity of bromine is less than that of chlorine
D. The electronegativity of chlorine is more than that of bromine

Answer

A

Explanation

Because chlorine has high electron affinity as has no repulsion to incoming electron whereas due to small size of fluorine it was expected to have more electron affinity but due to high electron density of fluorine it has inter electronic repulsion to incoming electron.
