Fluorine is the most electronegative compound among all the elements.

Flourine is a member of group 17 called halogen group which is most eletronegetive group.

Fluorine atomic number is but reason fluorine outermost electron present in 7 Electronic configuration is 2, 7..

Fluorine have the tendency to accept the electron. It's outermost cell has 7electrons it need 1more electron to go for noble state so it accept one electron and after accepting the electron number of protons will be 9 and number of electron will be 10 then by subtracting protons and electrons of fluorine after accepting will be equal to -1so there will be formation of anion and the fluorine is electronegative element among them.

Fluorine requires 1 electron compared to another element.

Flourine because electronegative means that, the most non-reactive non-metal.

Electronegativity is high in non-metals than in metals flourine is the most electronegative because it's a non-metal, it has 7electrons in it outer most shell and can easily accept 1 electron to obtain an octet state.

Fluorine is more electronegative because its ion is -1 while oxygen is -2. The lesser the electronegative charge the more electronegativity.

Chriti said:   6 years ago
Because fluorine is the only element that accepts 1 electron to complete its outermost shell therefore making it highly electronegative.

Fluorine is the correct answer.

Electronegativity increases across a period(left to right) and also decreases down a group.

So the general trend is diagonally across the periodic table from left to right(excluding the noble gases).

Fluorine is the most electronegative element and also the most reactive non-metal.
