SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the patterns observed in the electron affinity of chemical elements, particularly focusing on s-elements and their behavior in relation to p and d-elements. The author presents a theory regarding electron overjumpings during orbital filling, supported by a periodic table of electron overjumpings available on their website. The findings indicate that while s-elements exhibit varying electron affinity trends before p-elements, they show a decline before d-elements, suggesting underlying laws that require further exploration.
