Hello,


The energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron from an isolated gaseous atom in its ground state is called ionization enthalpy. It is expressed in the units of kilo joules per mole.On the other hand, the enthalpy change during the process of addition of an electron to a neutral gaseous atom to convert it into a negative ion is defined as the electron gain enthalpy.
