Answer:

Fluorine has a smaller atomic radius than oxygen. This means that the size of fluorine's electron cloud is smaller, and it has a greater ability/tendancy to attract a bonding pair of electrons (thus a higher electronegativity) than oxygen as it has a higher nuclear charge and a smaller atomic radius.
