Answer:

Electron affinity

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically, electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract the electrons in a chemical bond towards itself but electron affinity is the energy change that occurs when an electron is accepted by an atom in its gaseous state to form an anion.

Hope it helps :)
