The trend for electron affinity on the periodic table is that it increases from the bottom left of the table to the top right.
He>I>Te>Bi>Na Should be the order.
Rank the following elements by electron affinity, from most positive to most negative EA value:
tellurium, bismuth, neon, sodium, iodine
i tried
Te, Bi, Na, I, Ne
and it was incorrect.

I believe David used the wrong symbol (among other issues); i.e., He is zero electron affinity (but isn't in the list but Ne is zero also) and I is the largest.
So from lowest to highest it is
Ne<Na<Bi<Te<I
The problem ask to rank from most positive to most negative and that move them to the reverse of my table above; ie.,
I>Te>Bi>Na>Ne
F is the highest EA and goes down the list. Those elements below and to the left have lower EA. By the way you can look these up on the web at www.chemelements.com and scroll down to electron shell properties.
