ionization energy versus electronegativity

[606012329]

Can someone explain the difference between ionization energy and electronegativity and the trends in the periodic table associated with them?

[Ben Apsley]

Electronegativity is the ability for an atom to attract electrons, whereas ionization energy is the energy required to remove one electron from an atom.

They’re definitely related and both have the same periodic trend: increasing towards the top right of the table

Ionization energy and electronegativity follow a similar trend on the periodic table, increasing diagonally from the bottom left corner to the top right. Ionization energy refers to the amount of energy required to remove an electron while electronegativity is the atom's ability to attract an electron.

they both have the same trends in the periodic table --> up and to the right
electronegativity is the power of an atom in a molecule to attract shared-pair electrons towards itself
ionization energy is the amount of energy required to remove an electron from an isolated atom or molecule
