Answer:
Electron gain enthalpy is the amount of energy released when an isolated gaseous atom accepts an electron to become monovalent gaseous anion.
Explanation:
When an electron is added energy is released so electron gain enthalpy is negative. If electron gain enthalpy is positive it means we are forcing an atom to accept electron.
Hope it helps.
