I will explain Electron Affinity in simple terms - i guarantee it is easy to understand First understand Ionisation energy - it is the energy required to make an atom lose it's electron So u need to kick out an electron from it's orbit - it won't happen on it's own - go give some energy to it. The energy u gave or the energy required for removal of an electron is called ionisation energy. - EASY, nothing complicated Now electron affinity is the straight opposite - yes it is the opp. Screw what google or Chat GPT is saying U gave an energy to remove electron. So for the opposite case: U will get an energy to add an electron. That is, the atom loses some of it's energy to attract electron nd hold it in it's place. Just the opposite. The more the ionisation energy is required to remove an electron (like in the case of noble gases), the less they r going to easily lose an electron For Electron affinity it is the opposite, the greater the energy is released or the more electron affinity it has, the faster it is going to attract electrons or greater the no. of electrons attracted. That's it - Electron affinity explained in simple terms. Now i am not sure it is completely correct in terms of advanced level of science. But for general understanding it is great way to visualise nd is correct.
my teacher was an stealer she won't clarify our doubts but takes fees so i learn chemistry in youtube i did not understand electron affinity this video clarified all doubts of mine you deserve a bright future
"So, I'll start with a lithium atom. And in a neutral lithium atom there are 3 protons so there is our +3 charge and the electronic configuration of a neutral lithium atom is 1s2 2s1." I heard this line in starting of every video made by this guy.. He loves LITHIUM accurately A NEUTRAL LITHIUM ATOM!!
mariam bassam because a free electron is more energetic as compared to valence shell electrons. So in order to become a part of the valence shell, the electron must lose energy to become a part of that shell.
I'm sorry, I'm just wondering, wasn't Zeff supposed to be # of protons - # of core electrons? In other words, should've it been 10 - 2 (because of electrical configuation, 2, 8, 18, 32)? Also, how did you find the "shileding" electron?
See here's how it is ... You have a neon atom with 10 electron you try to add one electron well protons will attract the electron towards it but all the other elctrons tend to repel it as they have like charges so. Here core elctrons means all the elctrons of an atom not only of first orbit. But all the orbits..
i have one doubt .....so when we add an electron to lithium which has the configuration 1s^2 2s^1 its configuration changes to Li^-1 so Li^-1 configuration looks like beryllium ...so ...when I find an atom in nature while im in a kind of a research(just a thought) ...with the configuration of 1s^2 2s^2........ is it beryllium or Li^-1 ????????? pls help !!!!!!!!!
These elements can not be found simply as li and beryllium in nature ,it must be in form of oxides or sulphides or other forms so it may vary according to the state of combination it is present
I thought energy was released when you lose an electron so now energy is released again when you gain an electron? If the energy is given off then the atom would lose that energy and be neutral again right? so are electrons just energy and not matter?
If nitrogen doesn't have an affinity for an electron then why doesn't a carbon atom also have its electron affinity as zero. Doesn't carbon also have 4 half filled orbitals?
Ashutosh A ... electron affinity means the amount of Energy released to add a electron in neutral gaseous atom ......in ionization potential energy will be required to remove an electron from a neutral isolated gaseous atom
Whatever queries you have you can go and comment on PROFESSOR DAVE EXPLAINS video and he will answer you within a couple of hours. But he will.......I got many of mine cleared from him :)
Cause a free electron has a more energy or it is at higher state than all the other elctrons of atom so for the electron to be added some eenrgy has to be given out so that it is stable
Well from my understanding, as there is a high amount of attraction between the outer most electron and the nucleus (due to small atomic radius and little electron shielding), a lot of energy would be required to rip that electron away. Or another way of looking at it would be to say that a lot of energy would be needed to break the electrostatic bond between the two. This is for the ionisation of Lithium.

Thanks bro❤️
My mind is fried bc my chem teacher sucks at teaching and apparently I've learned nothing from her classes the past two years.
Josh Porter oh yeah yeah
was she 🔥🔥🔥
@@Chroamina 2years is quite long tho!!
Easy money for her
God i have the same problem I am in clg 2nd year and I still don't have my basics cleared. So, about 4 years now
my teacher was an stealer she won't clarify our doubts but takes fees so i learn chemistry in youtube i did not understand electron affinity this video clarified all doubts of mine you deserve a bright future
So good, didn't take AP chem but this makes a lot of sense!
Divided by nations , United by learning !
"So, I'll start with a lithium atom. And in a neutral lithium atom there are 3 protons so there is our +3 charge and the electronic configuration of a neutral lithium atom is 1s2 2s1."

It cleared my idea about E.affinity... Thanks brother.
love it,i was't able to understand after attending 2 classes and watching a online video twice but ,khan academy made it clear

this literally helped so much. thank you khan academy. gonna go and ACE my test bye 🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️
Where did the kjs come?
Yet I don't understand why energy is released when an electron is added!

Thank you so much sir. You made so many points clear :D

@@sarveshwarianbarasu thank you mam !!!! doubt cleared
It's very fine en clear
Does lithium (EA = -60) every really form an anion? I am accustomed to the idea of a lithium cation, but not anion.
Thank you:)
I thought energy was released when you lose an electron so now energy is released again when you gain an electron? If the energy is given off then the atom would lose that energy and be neutral again right? so are electrons just energy and not matter?
But what's the need of electron affinity , when we can do well with electron gain enthalpy as it is according to thermodynamic convention.......
why boron has less electron affinity than lithium
Li has larger atomic size as compared to boron and B has greater nuclear charge effect.
If nitrogen doesn't have an affinity for an electron then why doesn't a carbon atom also have its electron affinity as zero. Doesn't carbon also have 4 half filled orbitals?
Mukul Singal the electron in the 2s orbital doesn’t go up to the p orbital
What's the definition of electron affinity?
Sally Chan The amount of energy released when a neutral gaseous atom aquires one electron
but energy will be required for adding an electrons to an atom in electron affinity
Ashutosh A ... electron affinity means the amount of Energy released to add a electron in neutral gaseous atom ......in ionization potential energy will be required to remove an electron from a neutral isolated gaseous atom
Yes
Liked...😎
Why do electrons give energy in the first place when added to an atom?
Whatever queries you have you can go and comment on PROFESSOR DAVE EXPLAINS video and he will answer you within a couple of hours. But he will.......I got many of mine cleared from him :)

Soooo confusing o_o
Thé lithium affinity is positive
no its not
Where’s the other khan academy guy?
I am more confused now... so Li requires energy to become 1+? I thought the reaction of Li is exothermic not endothermic
Well from my understanding, as there is a high amount of attraction between the outer most electron and the nucleus (due to small atomic radius and little electron shielding), a lot of energy would be required to rip that electron away. Or another way of looking at it would be to say that a lot of energy would be needed to break the electrostatic bond between the two. This is for the ionisation of Lithium.
You should show us how to arrange in order (increasing or decreasing).....
Not so good
You made a mistake on Z effective of Ne of the electron 3s1 it's not 0 it's 1.3 !!!!!! (Slater rules)
Told wrong li- lithium anoin is smaller than li ok dude
@Mohammad Nematzadehgharakheil if it's an anion then it's (-) and therefore the lithium anion is not smaller but larger than the lithium atom.
Not understand
