The electron affinity of fluorine is less than chlorine as we move down the group; this deviation in behavior is due to its
Correct answer: D. All of these
- A. Small size
- B. Seven electron
- C. Thick electronic cloud
- D. All of these

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.
