The element from which it is easier to remove an electron between Argon and Bromine is Bromine.
This can be explained by electron affinity.
Electron affinity is defined as amount of the energy released when one mole of electron is added to one mole of atom or to the outermost or valence shell to form anion. It is the measure of attraction existing between atom and electron.
Electron affinity of Bromine is 324.537 kJ/mol and electron affinity of Argon is -96 kJ/mol. A higher electron affinity indicates that an atom accepts or removes the electrons more easily and low electron affinity means that an atom do not accept or remove electrons as easily.
Bromine has atomic number 35, which means it has 35 protons in nucleus. It has 35 electrons and for a bromine atom to become a 1- bromide ion, it will have to gain an electron. If it loses electrons, it receives a positive charge because it has more protons than electrons.
Argon is a noble gas element. It means argon is highly stable because it has full outer shell of electrons. Argon has low affinity. Therefre, it does not lose or gain electrons because it is already stable.
