The elements of which group in the periodic table release the most energy by gaining an electron?

The halogens located in group 17

Explanation:

The change in energy of a neutral atom when an electron is added is known as electron affinity. Fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), iodine (I), and astatine (At) are known as halogens and conform the group 17 of the periodic table, the group that presents higher electron affinity. This characteristic happens because of their atomic structures, it is easier for them to gain electrons because they are closer to form octets.

Here I present you halogens' electron affinities values:

The use of negative signs is to indicate the RELEASE of energy.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

conduction is the transfer of thermal energy (heat in transfer) due to collisions between the molecules in the object. collisions between adjacent atoms and molecules transfer kinetic energy from the warmer to the cooler object. the objects must be in physical contact.
