electron affinity
ionization energy
ionization
electronegativity

1. choose the best answer.

____ is the process of adding electrons to a neutral atom to form an ion.
electronegativity
electron affinity
ionization energy
ionization

Explanation:

• Question 1: Electronegativity is defined as the measure of an atom's ability to attract electrons from another element to form a compound. Electron affinity is the energy change when an electron is added to a neutral atom. Ionization energy is the energy required to remove an electron from an atom. Ionization is the process of forming ions (either by losing or gaining electrons).
• Question 2: Ionization is the process of adding (in the case of forming negative ions) or removing (in the case of forming positive ions) electrons to/from a neutral atom to form an ion. Electronegativity is about electron - attracting ability. Electron affinity is the energy aspect of adding an electron. Ionization energy is the energy for electron removal.

Answer:

1. Electronegativity
2. Ionization
