Answer:
The Correct Answer is mentioned below
Explanation:
The amount of energy released when an electron is coupled to a neutral atom or molecule in the gaseous state to produce a negative ion is defined as the electron affinity of an atom or molecule.
The amount of energy released when an electron is added to an isolated gaseous atom is known as electron gain enthalpy. Energy can be released or absorbed with the addition of an electron.

Answer:
The key difference between electron affinity and electron gain enthalpy is that electron affinity refers to the tendency of an isolated atom to obtain an electron, whereas electron gain enthalpy is the energy released when an isolated neutral atom gains one extra electron.
