5. Ionization energy is the energy required to remove an electron from an atom. Electron affinity is the energy
released when an atom accepts an electron.
6. They are both dependent on the same thing, atomic radius. When the atomic radius is small, it is more
difficult to remove an electron, so ionization energy is high. At the same time, it is easier for the atom to
accept another electron, so it releases energy when an electron is added and electron affinity is high.
