Chapter 16, Problem 121IE

The electron affinities. in kJ/mol, for the group 1B and group 2B metals are as follows.

    Cu
    -119
    Zn
    >0
    Ag
    -126
    Cd
    >0
    Au
    -223
    Hg
    >0

(a) Why are the electron affinities of the group 2B elements greater than zero?
(b) Why do the electron affinities of the group 1B elements become more negative as we move down the group? [Hint Examine the trends in the electron affinities of other groups as we proceed down the periodic table.]
