Electron Affinity in Electronegativity Formulas

The Electron Affinity is defined as the amount of energy released when an electron is attached to a neutral atom or molecule in the gaseous state to form a negative ion. And is denoted by E.A. Electron Affinity is usually measured using the Joule for Energy. Note that the value of Electron Affinity is always negative.
