2. For what reason do Be and Ne have positive electron affinity values? a. Each element just needs a single electron to fill all its orbitals. b. They both have paired, completely-filled orbitals. An additional electron will have to be placed at a higher energy level. c. Both of these atoms are unstable. They need additional electron to reach stability. Explain your answer in one sentence:
