3.22 What is the basic difference between the terms electron gain enthalpy and electronegativity?
The basic differences between the terms electron gain enthalpy and electronegativity are:
Electron gain enthalpy refers to the tendency of an isolated gaseous atom to accept an additional electron from a negative ion, whereas electronegativity refers to the tendency of an atom of an element to attract a shared pair of electrons towards it in a covalent bond.
