Electron affinity: The enthalpy change that results from adding an electron to a gaseous atom.

Electron affinity is becoming less negative (less exothermic) and less likely to gain an electron.

Ranks the following in increasing atomic radius

S, Mg, Al

S: 16-10 +6

Mg: 12-10 = +2

Al: 13-10 +3

So: S < AlMg

The greater the effective nuclear charge the more tightly an electron is held in by the nucleus because there is less electron shield between the valence electrons and the nucleus, and so, the smaller the radius.
