Answer:
Electron affinity can reflect the ability of an atom to gain electrons. The smaller the first electron affinity, the easier an atom gains electrons. The greater the electron affinity, the weaker is the ability of an atom to gain electrons. The ionization energy shows the ability of an atom to loose its electrons.
Explanation:
Ionization energy is the energy released when an electron from the outermost shell of an atom is given out. The opposite is the energy required to put an electron in the outer most orbit of an atom. This energy is termed as electron affinity
