Some facts

The electronic affinity is amount of energy, that is released during the attachment of the electron to the neutral atom. As a result of such attachment, a negative ion (anion) is formed.
Electron affinity is related to electronegativity of elements. Simply speaking, the greater the affinity of electrons, the more eagerly the atoms of a given element join electrons to form ions (anions).
The electronic affinity is most often given in electron volts (eV) or in kilojoules per mole (kJ / mol).
Theoretically, the value of the electron affinity can be approximated using Koopmans theorem as energy of lowest unocuppied orbital. Such calculations can be made using quantum chemistry methods.
Electronic affinity is a property specific to a given element. However, it may be slightly different for individual isotopes.
When two atoms form a chemical compound, the electron cloud is shifted towards the element with a higher electron affinity. When this difference is large enough, the electron is virtually transferred from one atom to the other creating an ionic bond. This is the case, for example, in the case of sodium-chlorine (Na-Cl) bonding in sodium chloride.
Electronic affinity is measured (or calculated theoretically) for isolated atoms in gaseous state.
Analogically, it is possible to define the electron affinity for chemical compounds (molecules).
