Out of Nitrogen and fluorine which atom do you think will be more electronegative and why?

Fluorine is the most electronegative.
As far as I know, Because of its reactivity and it has 5 electrons in its 2P shell. Since it is so close to its ideal electron configuration, the electrons are held tightly to the nucleus. Its high electronegativity explains its small radius because the +ve protons have a very strong attraction to the -ve electrons, holding them closer to the nucleus than the bigger and less electronegative elements.
Hope this helps!

If possible brainliest it
actually I was confused
one told me fluorine and the other told niteogen
thanks a lot for clearing my doubt...
Fluorine is the most electronegative compared to NO2.
yes u r ryt..
