difference between electron gain enthalpy and electronegativity?

1.	difference between electron gain enthalpy and electronegativity?
Answer» Actually energy is released to achieve stability so if a atom is willing to take electron and every will be released and it\'s value will be in negative<br>Gain enthalpy is the property of a isolated neutral gaseous atom it is actually the energy release absorbed on addition of an electron to the above mentioned atom....it may be positive or negative it depends a atom is willing to accept electron or not if it is positive it means the atom is unwilling and if negative the atom is willing.... Chlorine has the highest electron gain enthalpy.............. Now electronegativity is the tendency of a bonded atom to withdraw electron pair of other atom in the molecule..... Fluorine is the most electronegative element also called as don of chemistry
