Question
Chapter 3.7, Problem 3.17P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason why Manganese has a less favorable
Concept introduction:
Electron affinity:
In a gaseous state isolated neutral atom, energy released when an electron is introduced in outermost shell is known as electron affinity. Greater the negative value of electron affinity, the atom has more tendency to accept an electron.
