Question

12. Most electronegative element in the periodic
table is
(A) Nitrogen
(B) Fluorine
(C) Oxygen
(D) Chlorine​

Answer 1

Fluorine is the most electronegative element because it contains 5 electrons in its 2p shell. The optimal electron configuration of the 2p orbital contains 6 electrons. So since fluorine is so close to inert gas configuration the electron are held lightly to the nucleus.
