1.Please use ChatGPT to explore one question about computational chemistry knowledge and follow up with further inquiries about any unfamiliar terms ( except homework )
2.Use Gaussian、 Spartan or WebMO to calculate the Electron Affinity of atoms with atomic number Hydrogen and Helium, 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.

3.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.
There is lots of errors for Neon, Sulfur, Chlorine, and Argon, so I remoed them.
B3LYP / 6-31+G** and B3LYP / 6-311+G** have better results.
