Question

differentiate between ionization energy and electron affinity​

Answer 1

Answer:

• Ionization Energy is the Energy Released/Absorbed when an Electron is removed from the valence shell of an electron.
• Electron Affinity is the tendency of the atom to attract an electron from neighbouring atom/ion/molecule/compound.

Answer 2

Answer:

Electrons are subatomic particles of atoms. ... The main difference between electron affinity and ionization energy is that electron affinity gives the amount of energy released when an atom gains an electron whereas ionization energy is the amount of energy required to remove an electron from an atom.
