Assertion : Electron affinity values of the 3rd period elements on extreme right of the periodic table except noble gases are generally more than the 2nd period element of the same group.
Reason : Due to smaller atomic size of the 2nd period element, its electron density increases which oppose the addition of electron.

IMPORTANT
Assertion: Nitrogen (atomic number 7) has less electron affinity than the oxygen (atomic number 8).
Reason: The magnitude of an element's electron affinity only depends on the element's valence shell electrons configuration.

IMPORTANT
Assertion: Second electron gain enthalpy of halogens is always positive.
Reason: Fluorine has maximum value of electron gain enthalpy.

IMPORTANT
Assertion : The atomic radii of the elements of the oxygen family are smaller than the atomic radii of the corresponding elements of the nitrogen family.
Reason : The members of the oxygen family are more electronegative and thus have lower values of nuclear charge than those of the nitrogen family.

IMPORTANT
Assertion: Fluorine has a less negative electron gain enthalpy than chlorine.
Reason: There is relative greater effectiveness of 2p-electrons in the small F atom to repel the additional electron entering the atom than to 3p-electrons in the larger Cl atom.

Consider the following statements:
I. The radius of an anion is larger than that of the parent atom.
II. The ionization energy generally increases with increasing the atomic number in a period.
III. The electronegativity of an element is the tendency of an isolated atom to attract an electron. Which of the above statements is/are correct?
