What is the basic difference between the terms electron gain enthalpy and electronegativity?

Answer:

Electron gain enthalpy Electronegativity
It is the common tendency of an atom to attract outside electrons It is the general tendency of an atom to attract shared pair of electrons
It is the virtue of an isolated atom It is the virtue of the bonded atom
It is the absolute electron attracting tendency of the atom It is the relative electron attracting tendency of an atom
It has units for e.g. KJ/mol & Ev/atom It his unitless
