Difference between electron affinity and electron gain enthalpy?
Can you explain the difference between electron affinity and electron gain enthalpy?
Yes, of course! Electron affinity is the energy released when an electron is added to an isolated gaseous atom to form a negative ion. Whereas, electron gain enthalpy is the amount of energy released when one mole of an electron is added to one mole of gaseous atoms or ions.
