The electron affinity of second member in group 15, 16 ,and 17 is higher than that of first member of the same group because of
The very small size of the first element in these groups results into overcrowding of electrons in a small volume .The mutual repulsion of electrons , therefore , resists probability of admitting additional electrons . thereby reducing electron affinity.
