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
