Solution

Electron gain enthalpy is the amount of energy that is released when an isolated gaseous atom accepts an electron to become a gaseous anion.

X(g) + e- → X-(g) + energy(electron gain enthalpy) ∆Helectron gain enthalpy​ = negative

Higher the e​lectron gain enthalpy, higher is the tendency of the atom to accept an electron and higher is the energy that is released.
