Difference between Electronegativity and Electron Gain Enthalpy..??

Electronegativity Is The Ability Of An Atom  in A Chemical Compound Io Attract Shared Electrons Towards Itself. Is Called Elebtronegativity.Fluorine Is The Element With High Electronegativity.Where As Electron Gain Enthalpy Is The Amount Of Energy Released When An Isolated Neutral Gaseous Atom Of The Element Takes Up Extra Electron To Form A Uninegative gaseous Ions Is Known As Electron Gain Enthalpy Or Electron Affinity. The Element With Highest Electron Affinity Is Chlorine With A Value Of -349 K/JMol

I Hope You Would Underrstand The Differences Between Electron Affinity & Electronegativity.

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.

 one more difference is electronegativity has symbol ''kii'' and gain enthalpy has symbol delta egH
