Question
What is the basic difference between the terms electron gain enthalpy and electronegativity?
✓

Answer

Electron gain enthalpy is the measure of the tendency of an isolated gaseous atom to accept an electron, whereas electronegativity is the measure of the tendency of an atom in a chemical compound to attract a shared pair of electrons.
