what is difference between electron gain enthalpy and electronegativity |
|
Answer» For detail answer see in the book modern\'s abc chemistry part 1 chapter3 Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons. The Pauling scale is the most commonly used. While Electron gain enthalpy is defined as the amount of energy released when an electron is added to an isolated gaseous atom. During the addition of an electron, energy can either be released or absorbed.Sign Convention For Electron Gain Enthalpy:Negative: When energy is released while accepting an electron.Positive: When energy is supplied to an atom while adding an electron |
