Question

What is the basic difference between the term electron gain enthalpy and electronegativity?

Answer 1

Hey mate here is your answer .....

The basic difference between electron gain enthalpy and electro negativity is.....

•Electron gain enthalpy is the enthalpy change,release of energy takes place when an electron is put under an orbital.

•Electro negativity is the tendency of an electron to attract a pair of electron towards itself.

hope it helps you..

Answer 2

Answer:

Electron gain enthalpy is the tendency of an isolated gaseous atom to accept an extra electron to form a gaseous anion while electronegativity is the tendency of an atom of an element to attract the shared pair of electrons towards itself in a covalent bond. Unlike electron gain enthalpy, electronegativity is not a measurable quantity.
