Use Gaussian、 Spartan or WebMO to calculate the Electron Affinity of atoms with atomic number 3~18, by using B3LYP、MP2 and M062X theoretical methods with 6-31G**、6-311G**、6-31+G** and 6-311+G** basis set, and do some simple statistical analysis.
Definition of Electron Affinity:
A(g) + e -→ A-(g) ΔE = EA or
A-(g) → A(g) + e - ΔE = EA
