Electron affinity is defined as the change in energy (in kJ/mole) of a neutral atom (in the gaseous phase) when an electron is added to the atom to form a negative ion. In other words, the neutral atom's likelihood of gaining an electron.

Oct 12, 2020 · The electron affinity ( EA) of an element E is defined as the energy change that occurs when an electron is added to a gaseous atom or ion: (8.5.1)E(g) +e−.
Electron affinity is the energy change that results from adding an electron to a gaseous atom. For example, when a fluorine atom in the gaseous state gains an electron to form F⁻ (g), the associated energy change is -328 kJ/mol. Because this value is negative (energy is released), we say that the electron affinity of fluorine is favorable.

When we talk about chemical affinity we usually refer to a tendency of a species toward reaction with other atoms, compounds, or ions. The outcome of the reaction of two species depends on their electronic structure since the electrons are subatomic particles that participate in bonding.
Electron affinity. Third in importance for bond formation after size and ionization energy is the energy change accompanying the attachment of electrons to a neutral atom. This energy is expressed as the electron affinity, which is the energy released when an electron is attached to an atom of the element. In many cases, the electron affinity ...

The electron affinity (EA) is the energy change for the process of adding an electron to a gaseous atom to form an anion (negative ion). X (g)+e− X−(g) X ( g) + e − X − ( g) This process can be either endothermic or exothermic, depending on the element.
