Thus, metals have positive electron affinities. In the Periodic Table, electron affinity increases (becomes more negative) from left to right in a period. Electron affinity decreases from top to bottom in a Group.
The periodic trends of several metals will also be investigated in this experiment. Unlike halogens, metals tend to lose electrons. Magnesium, calcium, and aluminum will be reacted with water and acid to determine trends in metal activity within a group and
