Difference between ionization energy, electron gain enthalpy and electronegativity

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

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

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

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
