Question

if electron affinity of an atom is x and Ionisation energy is y then, x<y ,x>y and x=y​

Answer 1

Answer:

x=y

Explanation:

Ionization energy is the external energy required to remove an electron from an atom

Electron affinity is the energy released by an atom when an electron is gained.

These are both the same in terms of energy, the difference is in the direction of flow of energy.
