Electro Negativity, Ionization Energy, and Electron Affinity...
Can anyone explain these to me in normal English please? I am having a hard time understanding these concepts from the definitions given in the book and from my teacher.

Thank you.

Have you tried looking them up on wikipedia? All I could tell you would be from there, sorry.

Thank you.

You should start by giving us the definitions that you were given (citing the sources completely), and then letting us know what you understand and don't understand about each one of them. The most effective way to learn is for us to teach you based on what you already know. And for us to do that, we need to figure out what you already know!
