The increasing order of electron affinity values of `O,S` and `Se` isA. `O gt S gt Se`B. `S gt Se gt O`C. `Se gt O gt S`D. `S gt O gt Se`

Answer» Correct Answer - 2
O has exceptionally smaller value of electron affinity `(-141kJ^(-1)mol)` due to smaller atomic size than sulphur ( weaker electron-electron repulsion in `3p-` subshell). It is less tha Se and Te also.
