Question

what is the difference between electron affinity and electronegativity
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Electronegativity is a chemical property that says how well an atom can attract electrons towards itself. ... The electron affinity of an atom or molecule is defined as the amount of energy released when an electron is added to a neutral atom or molecule in the gaseous state to form a negative ion.

Answer 2

Answer:

Electron affinity is the energy required by an atom of element to gain a electron from other species while electronegativity is the tendency to attract electron due to having lone pairs of electron.
