Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Thus, fluorine is the most electronegative element, while francium is one of the least electronegative.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fluorine is the most electronegative element on the periodic table.
Detailed explanation-3: -Examining the table above, we see that O has an electronegativity of 3.44, and H has an electronegativity of 2.20.
Detailed explanation-4: -Sulfur is less electronegative than oxygen (2.4 and 3.5, respectively) and as a consequence bonds to sulfur are less polar than the corresponding bonds to oxygen.
Detailed explanation-5: -Oxygen is second most electronegative because its needs only 2 electrons to complete its octet.
