Difference between electron affinity and electron gain enthalpy?
What factors affect electron affinity and electron gain enthalpy?
Factors that affect electron affinity and electron gain enthalpy include atomic size, nuclear charge, and electron configuration. In general, the electron affinity and electron gain enthalpy increase as you move from left to right across a period, and decrease as you move from top to bottom within a group on the periodic table.
