the most negative electron affinity is most likely associated with which type of atoms?\nlarge nonmetal…

Brief Explanations:

Electron - affinity is the energy change when an electron is added to a gaseous atom. Small non - metal atoms have a high effective nuclear charge and a small atomic radius. They have a strong attraction for an additional electron, resulting in a large negative electron affinity as energy is released when the electron is added. Large non - metal atoms have a lower effective nuclear charge on the outermost shell due to shielding and a larger radius, so their electron affinity is less negative. Metal atoms tend to lose electrons rather than gain them easily, so they have small or positive electron affinities.

Answer:

B. small nonmetal atoms
