Answer:
Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons. The Pauling scale is the most commonly used. Fluorine (the most electronegative element) is assigned a value of 4.0, and values range down to cesium and francium which are the least electronegative at 0.7.

Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons.
example
The chlorine atom has a higher electronegativity than the hydrogen atom, so the bonding electrons will be closer to the Cl than to the H in the HCl molecule. ... The electrons in the covalent bond are shared equally between the two oxygen atoms
