WHAT DOES ELECTRON AFFINITY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Electron affinity

In chemistry and atomic physics, the electron affinity of an atom or molecule is defined as the amount of energy released when an electron is added to a neutral atom or molecule in the gaseous state to form a negative ion. X + e− → X− + energy In solid state physics, the electron affinity for a surface is defined somewhat differently.
