Answer 2

Explanation:

Electrogativity : It is a measure of an atom's ability to attract shared electron to itself . On the periodic table, electrongativity generally increases as you move from left to right across a period and decreases as you move down.

Electron Affinity : The electron affinity of an atom or molecule is defined as the amount of energy released when an election is attached to neutral atom or molecule in the gaseous state to form a negative ion.
