Assertion : Electron affinity refers to an isolated atom's attraction for an additional electron while electronegativity is the ability of an atom of an element to attract electrons towards itself in a shared pair of electrons.
Reason : Electron affinity is a relative number and electronegativity is experimentally measurable.

Which of these has no unit?

Aqueous solutions of two compounds $M_1-OH$ and $M_2-OH$ are prepared in two different beakers. If the electronegativity of $M_1 = 3.4$,$M_2 = 1.2$,$O = 3.5$,and $H = 2.1$,then the nature of the two solutions will be respectively:
