Solution

Electronegativity is the property of attracting electrons by the halogen atoms in a molecule.
Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons.
Fluorine (F) with atomic number 9 is the most electronegative element.

Electron affinity	It is defined as a change in the energy of a neutral atom when an electron is added to it.
Electrochemistry	It defined as the study of a chemical reaction when electricity is passed through them.
Electropositivity	It is defined as a tendency of an atom to donate an electron.
