| Electron affinity | 
|---|
| The electron affinity of M is the minimum energy required for the process 
 where M-????????????????????? and M are in their ground rotational, vibrational and electronic states and the electron has zero kinetic energy. | 
| Considered between 2004 and 2006 but not included in the 2006 PAC submission | 
| This is an unofficial draft definition presented for information and comment. | 
Orange Book Entry
The electron affinity of a species M is defined as the minimum energy required for the process
M-????????????????????? → M + e
where M-????????????????????? and M are in their ground rotational, vibrational and electronic states and the electron has zero potential and kinetic energy.
