Electron affinity of an atom is the energy released when an electron is _ to an empty or partially filled orbital of an atom to form _.
Correct answer: C. Added, Anion
- A. Removed, Cation
- B. Added, Cation
- C. Added, Anion
- D. Removed, Anion
Explanation
Option C.Amount of energy released (or absorbed in some cases) when an electron is added to a gaseous atom to form a negative ion or anion is known as electron affinity.

About Chemical Bonding
Chemical bonding explains molecular shape through VSEPR theory and distinguishes sigma bonds from pi bonds. Questions involve hybridization, bond angles, dipole moment and bond energy, including how electron-pair repulsion determines geometry and how bond polarity differs from the overall polarity of a molecule.
