1vivek,O- has the same configuration as that of F.
then how can O have more EA than O-?
also say among S- and S which has greater EA?
shouldnt the answer be S- as it has same configuration as Cl or should it be S?
1.species having highest electron affinity:
a)O b)F- c)Cl- d)O-
ans given O,shudnt it be O-?
adding more..
2.if a+3b+2c=12,then max value of 6bc(1+a)+a(3b+2c) is
a)112 b)115 c)102 d)92

71yes, First one will be O.
Higher Electron affinity means more tendency to accept electrons. However, F- , Cl - both have complete octet, so they will be neglected completely.
Now for O- and O , O- having 1 deficiency of e- when compared to O which is 2 e deficient will possess less Electron Affinity.
hence O is the answer.

106O- already has an extra negative charge than a neutral atom. So due to this extra negative charge it will repel any additional charge, hence its electron affinity reduces.
2.if a+3b+2c=12,then max value of 6bc(1+a)+a(3b+2c) is
a)112 b)115 c)102 d)92
6bc + 3ab + 2ac + 6abc = 6abc(1/a + 1/2c + 1/3b + 1)
= 31a+13b+ 12c ≥ (a + 3b + 2c)/3
=> 1a+13b+ 12c ≤ 9/12
also, a + 3b + 2c ≥ 3*3√6abc
=> 6abc ≤ 64
So, max. value = 64 (3/4 + 1) = 16*7 = 112
71O- has the same configuration as that of F.
F is not there in the option.
And you don't compare S- with Cl because both don't have same effective nuclear charge. That should also be taken into the account.

P.S.
1)Sorry for (something like) spamming.
2)The blog has been around for an year now. That gives you about a 100 thumping good problems if you scan the archives.
3)Try the blog. I would have.
1thanks all.
plz ans these:
1.which isnt true for ideal gas:
(multi correct)
a)it cant be converted to liquid
b)there's no intermolecular attraction
c)all molecules move with same speed
d)at const temp,PV is proportional to amt of gas
c has to bve right but is any other option correct?
2. No of pairs of(x,y) satisfying sin x +sin y=sin(x+y) and |x|+|y|=1 is ...
12. No of pairs of(x,y) satisfying sin x +sin y=sin(x+y) and |x|+|y|=1 is ...
answer is 6
u need take intersection of
x=0;y=0;x+y=0
with the square |x|+|y|=1
262on solving sin x +siny = sin(x+y) ,
we get sin(x/2 - y/2)=0.
therefore, x-y=0 , x/2-y/2=pi, x/2-y/2=2pi.
solving this with |x| +|y| =1 , we get 2 solns. for each.... hence total solns are 2*3 =6.
