Question

Explain the following
(i) Ionization potention and
(2) Electron affinity
​

Answer 1

(i) Ionization potention :-

Ionization energy, also called ionization potential, in chemistry and physics, the amount of energy required to remove an electron from an isolated atom or molecule.

(ii) Electron affinity :-

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

Answer 2

$1 > \fbox{Ionization potention} \blue {= }$

In physics and chemistry, ionization energy or ionisation energy is the minimum amount of energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron of an isolated neutral gaseous atom or molecule.

$2 > \fbox{Electron affinity} \: \blue{ = }$

Electron affinity is defined as the change in energy (in kJ/mole) of a neutral atom (in the gaseous phase) when an electron is added to the atom to form a negative ion. In other words, the neutral atom's likelihood of gaining an electron.
