Define electronegativity. How does it differ from electron gain enthalpy?
Electronegativity is defined as the tendency of an element to attract the shared pair of electrons towards itself in a covalent bond. There is no specific units for electronegativity. It is only a relative tendency.
Electron gain enthalpy is the energy released when one mole of electron are added to gaseous atoms of an element. It can be negative or positive depending upon whether the electron is added or removed. An element has a constant value of the electron gain enthalpy that can be measured experimentally.

2nd last sentence is wrong. +ve or -ve electron affinity doesn't depend on gain or removal of electron. It depends on whether energy is released or given. E. Affinity is only associated with gain of electrons. =
Nice....
Very helpfull
