Electron-Affinity Vs Electron-Negativity

  • Electron-Affinity: power to pull electrons and also keep them with itself
    Electon-affinity Decreases from UP→Down in the periodic table. Highest affinity: Cl (chlorine)
    Lowest affinity: Noble gas
  • Electon-Negativity: power only to pull the electrons toward itself
    Electron-Negativity Increase from Left→Right in the periodic table. Highest electon-Negativity: Florine. Lowest: Cs
