What patterns can be observed in the electron affinity of chemical elements?

In summary, the electron affinity of chemical elements follows a general trend from left to right on the periodic table, with increasing electron affinity as you move from left to right. However, there are exceptions to this trend, such as the decrease in electron affinity from group 15 to 16 and the drop in electron affinity from group 16 to 17. Additionally, elements in the same group may have similar electron affinities due to their similar outer electron configurations. Overall, the electron affinity of chemical elements can be observed to increase as you move from left to right on the periodic table, with some exceptions and variations within certain groups.

During orbital’s filling with electrons, power areas form inside atom - with superfluous quantity of electrons and insufficient quantity. It causes overjumpings of electrons. My theory about such overjumpings see on www.genevo.org. I nead your comments

To explain more understandable the overjumpings of electrons I publish my periodic table of overjumpings of electrons.

In my last work I show secondary periodicity on this property for s-elements on the example of the data on electron affinity. In the same place, on the example of d-elements other logic of the tableis visible, - not periodicity but cyclicity.
Some properties are cyclic and not correspond to the periodic table.
I offer to your attention http://www.genevo.org/H.htm
It is visible on the schedule that on the property of electron affinity s-elements behave variously before p and d-elements . Before р - elements electron affinity grows, before d-falls.
Even on this property it is possible to speak about available laws which are not clear yet.

1. What is the Spiral of Chemical Elements?

The Spiral of Chemical Elements is a graphical representation of the periodic table, with elements arranged in a spiral pattern instead of the traditional rows and columns. This arrangement highlights the periodic nature of the elements, showing how they are related to each other based on their atomic properties.

2. Who created the Spiral of Chemical Elements?

The Spiral of Chemical Elements was created by chemist and educator Dr. Theodor Benfey in the 1960s. He believed that this new arrangement of the periodic table would help students better understand the periodicity of the elements.

3. How does the Spiral of Chemical Elements differ from the traditional periodic table?

The main difference between the Spiral of Chemical Elements and the traditional periodic table is the arrangement of the elements. In the traditional table, elements are arranged in rows and columns based on their atomic number. In the spiral, elements are arranged in a continuous spiral based on their atomic properties, such as atomic mass and electron configuration.

4. What are the benefits of using the Spiral of Chemical Elements?

The Spiral of Chemical Elements offers a visual representation that emphasizes the periodic nature of the elements. This can help students better understand the relationships between elements and make connections between different groups of elements. It also allows for a more compact and efficient representation of the periodic table.

5. Is the Spiral of Chemical Elements widely used in education and research?

The Spiral of Chemical Elements is not as widely used as the traditional periodic table, but it has gained some popularity in educational settings. Some researchers also use it as a way to organize and analyze data related to the properties and behavior of elements. However, the traditional periodic table remains the most commonly used and recognized representation of the elements.
