Detailed Solution

The most electronegative element is fluorine (F).
The ability of a particular atom to be able to attract the shared electrons in a chemical compound by itself is known as electronegativity. Fluorine is the most electronegative element. Its atomic configuration is 2,7. Fluorine requires 1 electron for the p-subshell to complete the orbit which makes it the most electronegative element.
