First ionization enthalpy means the energy required for the removal of an electron from the valence shell of an electron.Number of electrons will be less than the number of electrons at the initial stage. The force of attraction on the electrons by the nucleus will be more in this case.Hence it easily gain an electron.so,first ionisation enthalpy has greater electron affinity
