The amount of energy released by adding an electron in the valence shell is
Correct answer: B. Electron Affinity
- A. Ionization Energy
- B. Electron Affinity
- C. Electronegativity
- D. Atomic Radius
- E. Atomisation Energy
Explanation
Electron affinity is defined as the amount of energy released when an electron is added to the valence shell of a gaseous, neutral, and isolated atom.

About Atomic Structure
Atomic structure covers the discovery of the proton, Planck's quantum theory, hydrogen emission spectra and the evidence for quantized energy levels. You will use quantum numbers to describe orbitals, distinguish s, p, d and f orbital shapes, and write electronic configurations, including the correct order of electron filling.
