Question

distinguish between electron affinity and electronegativity​

Answer 1

Answer:

Electronegativity-

1- The ability of atoms to attract electrons from outside.

2- Applied to Single-atom.

3- Measured in Pauling units.

4- It is Qualitative.

Electron Affinity-

1- The amount of energy liberated when a molecule or neutral atom acquires an electron from outside.

2- Applied to Either an atom or molecule.

3- Measured in Kj/mol or eV.

4- It is Quantitative.
