The electron affinity is the energy change when an atom gains electrons. The convention is that the higher or more positive the electron affinity value, the more readily the atom accepts an electron.
Electron affinities are usually negative values, since energy is usually released (an exothermic energy change) when an electron is added to a neutral atom. If the resulting anion is stable, the value for the electron affinity will be negative; the more stable the anion is, the larger the negative number will be. If the resulting anion is unstable, the value for the electron affinity will be positive. Electron affinity generally increases from bottom to top within a group (that is, it goes to larger negative numbers), and increases from left to right within a period.
