text: In general, the electron affinity should increase along the period from left to right because the number of electrons increases along a period; thus, it is difficult to add a new electron.
text: Electron affinity generally increases across a period in the periodic table and sometimes decreases down a group.
text: kJ mol-1 Notice that electron affinity decreases down the group, but increases up with the period.
