Electron affinity of noble gases is

AAlmost zero

BLow

CHigh

DVery high

Answer:

A. Almost zero

Read Explanation:

  • Octet rule states that an atom can have the highest 8 electrons in its shell. If there are eight electrons or if an atom completes its octet, it becomes stable.

  • Noble gases have a stable electronic configuration as their octet is complete. Therefore, they cannot accept more electrons.

  • Electron affinity is the energy released when an isolated atom gains an electron.

  • Since noble gases cannot accept electrons, their electron affinity is almost zero.
