Question

What is difference between electron gain enthalpy and electro negativly?

Answer 1

✰ELECTRON GAIN ENTHALPY……………………

: It is the energy change that occurs when an electron is added to the outermost shell of a neutral gaseous atom.


✰ELECTRONEGATIVITY ………………

It is the ability of an atom to attract the shared or bonded pair of electrons. 

Answer 2

Answer:

Electron gain enthalpy represents the energy released to the surrounding when an electron is gained whereas electron affinity represents the energy absorbed by the surrounding when an electron is gained. Therefore, electron gain enthalpy is a negative value while electron affinity is a positive value.
