Difference between ionization energy, electron gain enthalpy and electronegativity
ionization energy is the amount of energy is required for the removal of outer valence electron of that atom in gaseous state :) M + energy -----> M+ e- if its first electron its called 1s tionization energy if second electron its called 2 nd ionization energy where as electron gain enthalapy or electron affinity is the amount of energy released when one extra electron is added to the atom M+e- ----> M + energy
electronegativity is the the tendency of an atom or a functional group to attract electrons (or electron density) towards itself.
Thankyou @chmvijay :)
ur welcome
ionization energy is the minimun energy required when an electron is removed from the valance shell of an isolated atom to form an ion.[cation] electron affinity is the energy released when an electron is gained by an atom to form an anion electronegativity is the power to attract shared pair of electrons b/w two atoms in a bond
Cl +e------Cl[negative] E.A=399Kg/mol
