What is ionization energy, electron affinity, and electronegaivity?

Sagot :

Ionization energy - is the energy required to remove an electron from a gaseous atom or ion.

Electron affinity - reflects the ability of an atom to accept an electron. It's the energy change that happens when an electron is added to a gaseous atom.

Electronegativity - is a measure of how strong an atom attracts electrons in a bond. It usually forms a covalent bond.
