    the electron affinity of chlorine is higher than fluorine, though fluorine is more electronegative. it is because being smaller in size, fluorine atom repels the upcoming electron more than large size chlorine atom. Hence electron affinity is more in the case of chlorine because of less repulsion by electrons to incoming electron.
