Question
Define electronegativity. How does it differ from electron gain enthalpy?
✓

Answer

The relative tendency of a bonded atom to attract the shared electron pair towards itself is called electronegativity while electron gain enthalpy is the energy change that occurs for the process of adding an electron to a gaseous isolated atom to convert it into a negative ion i.e., to form, a monovalent anion. Electron gain enthalpy and electronegativity both measure the power of attracting electrons, but electron gain enthalpy is concerned with an isolated gaseous atom while electronegativity is concerned with the atom in combination.
